Question
Does a yeshiva student who does not have a salary need to make a pruzbul?
Answer
Even a yeshiva student often has money that he receives from parents or other people, and if he lent it to others, the debt will be annulled at the end of the Shemitah year, and to prevent this, a pruzbul must be made.
Even if the student did not lend money but deposited it in a bank, this is considered a full loan to the bank [and not a 'deposit' as it is mistakenly called], and he must make a pruzbul.
