Scholarships

The King’s University Office of Student Financial Services serves to assist all current and prospective students in securing financial assistance for their college dreams. Scholarships are available from a variety of sources, and are a great way to help fund your education. Scholarship recipients are decided by the scholarship committee. The committee members are selected from various areas of the university to ensure equal representation across various institutional functions. To the greatest extent possible, the voting members are selected with respect to gender, age, ethnicity, and race to ensure there is non-discriminatory selection practice.

Scholarship applications for Fall 2020 will be accepted between June 15 and July 24.
