Do income factors influence scholarship awards?

I've got a question for the group that I think might be interesting for people to think about as they apply to MBA programs:

Many B Schools require applicants to report their income. Does having a high income (say above $130k/year) actually hurt an applicants chance of getting scholarships/fellowships? Do other proxies for wealth have an influence?

I would like to think that schools are simply jockeying for the best students, period. And that schools make decisions independent of students salaries. But looking at the fundamentals, and through personal experience, I suspect this may not be the case.

We can all agree that B Schools want to raise their yields and use scholarships as a means to entice students to enroll. A little game theory and data crunching may reveal (though I am only hypothesizing) that certain students are more sensitive to scholarship offers. One of the factors for this sensitivity could be pre-MBA salary (wealthier students may tend to chose their preferred school over the highest scholarship because they can afford it), another could be age (older students may have more savings to afford their preferred school) and a third could be married/partnered students (students who have support from a partner may be able to afford a school because their partner can help them with living expenses and possibly tuition).

What do you think? Do you feel like these factors play in financial committee decisions? Or do you think they try to be means blind when making decisions? Why?
