Scholarships

The King’s College awards scholarships based on academic merit and resonance with our mission.

Interregnum XVI

The King’s College awards scholarships based on academic merit and resonance with our mission, and third-party scholarships provide another way to fund your education. Scholarships never need to be repaid.

Most of the scholarships below are open to domestic students, freshmen and transfers, from any educational background. There are a few that are specifically for homeschooled students, which are labeled accordingly.

Some of these scholarships are also open to international students, and these are marked with an asterisk (*). See the bottom of the page for additional scholarships intended specifically for international students, military members, and veterans.

Students are considered domestic if they are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens (i.e. a legal permanent resident “green card” holder). We follow the same designations of eligible non-citizens that the U.S. Department of Education uses to define who can apply for federal student aid.

Institutional Scholarships

Academic Scholarships

The King’s College in New York City offers generous merit-based awards that are renewable each year. We believe in awarding you based on where you excel the most academically, whether that be in the classroom earning an impressive GPA or performing well on a standardized test. Our merit based scholarships are awarded on an “either/or” structure, so you do not need to meet all four categories to earn the scholarship. Once you complete an application, we will evaluate your credentials, and where you excelled the most will determine your scholarship.

Outside Scholarships

Service Clubs, Search Engines, and More

While there are many ways to find outside scholarships, here are a few ways that have been successful for our students:

  • Ask your high school guidance counselor. Scholarships come across their desk all the time, and they’re usually more than happy to help out.
  • Check with your parent’s employers about tuition matching programs or scholarships they might have.
  • Check with any service clubs (Key Club, Rotary Club, DAR, etc.) that you, your parents, or grandparents belong to. Also, check with your church about any scholarships or grants they may have. If you receive a scholarship from your church, King’s may be able to match it. See details above at “Church Matching Scholarship.”
  • Talk to local businesses, particularly small businesses your family frequents.
  • Make use of scholarship search engines. Here are some of the more popular ones:
