Although most lenders will not accept income from a scholarship, one of our lenders can use this income in their serviceability assessment as long as the scholarship has at least 12 months remaining.
This is to be verified either from the initial letter from your university confirming that you have been awarded a scholarship, or from a letter from your university at the time of the loan application.
Again, the scholarship income alone may not be enough to service the home loan so your partner will need to be earning an income.
