King's Scholarships

Upon acceptance to King's College, merit evaluation automatically occurs, and a separate application is not required. As an SAT/ACT optional school, you do not need to submit your scores. However, in doing so, your eligibility for scholarships and awards will be reviewed on an individual basis. Scholarship and award notification is announced in each acceptance letter. The following merit scholarship and award information is updated for the Fall 2023 entry term.

Presidential Scholarship (Full Tuition)

The full-tuition Presidential Scholarship is awarded to only the top 5% of applicants to King's College. Consideration for this prestigious award is based on the following selection criteria reviewed by the Scholarship Committee:

• Meets academic criteria: The student demonstrates exemplary leadership, scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, and/or community service.
• Meets King's College application requirements by January 1: The application is submitted by the deadline and includes official high school transcripts, and, if not applying "test optional," SAT (minimum 1310) or ACT (minimum 28) scores.
• Meets minimum of recalculated 3.8 GPA: King's College recalculates high school GPA to include classes only in mathematics, science, English, history, and foreign language.

If identified, students will be invited to attend an interview for scholarship consideration. The Presidential Scholarship is non-transferable and covers any increase in tuition for four years (eight semesters) of undergraduate academic study at King's College*.

*Alternatively, the scholarship covers three years (six semesters) for students participating in any partnership or dual enrollment programs (e.g., 3+2 or 3+3).
