Hi,
I want to do my MBA in the US or Australia and then take up a career with a non-profit organisation.Are there any scholarships for specifically this sort of venture and how do i go about this process??

I can't tell you anything about scholarships (sorry), but can tell you that your instincts are right. If you want to do non-profit work, you'd be wise to avoid taking on lots of debt.

I knew a guy who went to Kellogg and majored in Non-Profit Mngmnt, After he received his MBA, he got plenty of job offers, but none had salaries that would allow him to pay off his loans.

Eventually he took a job in the for-profit world.

I don't mean to be negative, but do mean to encourage you to look for the funding IN ADVANCE.

Good luck.
