Just as a note that could be given to heads of piano faculties 'round there:

Where I studied (Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, UK) piano students are not allowed to charge their fellow students for accompanying them (apart from travelling expenses, of course, if rehearsals and/or concert is far away).

They do also provide accompanists, but these are really too few and very busy. Too busy, in fact, to rehearse more than an absolute minimum (though most of them are more than up for pulling that off!) so any student wanting to get a more musically intimate relationship with an accompanist/duo partner, will have to do so with a student. But without having to pay for it!

I thought that was a great system, and I'm surprised to learn that it isn't standard!
