Actually I heard back from the school that Forte and Consortium are both decided by the individual schools and both organizations and fellowships can be attained at the same time in other words I could receive both if deemed appropriate....Pretty Amazing!

Nice to know! Thank you for reporting this info back here.
You can receive membership to both but you are not getting money (that exceeds tuition & fees for both) because it’s actually the school that gives the money, not Consortium or Forte. The max any school will offer you is 100% of fees and tuition.
Sometimes a school will offer you money upfront (especially when they are not your first choice) to entice you to come to them...congratulations! That means you’re a phenomenal candidate.
Also (and I hope this makes sense typed out) because one school in the ranking cannot offer you a Consortium fellowship if a higher rank school already did, they’ll offer you packages (never exceeding 100% tuition and fees) basically to persuade you more in case you’re looking for 100% funding. These packages from schools rarely include living expenses.
All of my information comes directly from Danny and admission representatives so it should be accurate
