Running Loans and Eligibilty for Scholarhsips

by somnathbabu » Thu Jan 28, 2016 6:47 am
Hello,

I am on a home loan and would like to pursue a full time MBA, which is when my wife shall be paying the loan installments. My questions :

1. Can a running loan be a deterrent to my eligibility for a scholarship ?
2. Can the running loan convince the admissions offices to reduce my scholarship (they might perceive this loan as a financial strength and infer that I am in lesser need of monetary support)?
3. What are the factors they consider for granting a scholarship ?

Please help. Thanks a lot.

there are two types of scholarship, merit-based, and needs-based. For the former, any loan should not matter. For the latter, sorry, but I am not an expert in terms of how schools calculate need and whether a loan / mortgage impacts that. cheers, alex
