Scholarship: King's Scholars of Tomorrow

King’s Foundations offers one scholarship of £5,000 per pathway for students on the King's International Foundation Programme. To apply for this scholarship, you have to submit a short video explaining why your future begins at King’s by 16 March 2025. The entries will be judged by a panel and successful applicants will be contacted to inform them of their prize. The scholarship is awarded towards your tuition fee and is not a cash prize. Further details of the scholarship for 2025 will be shared on this page. All King's International Foundation Programme applicants will also be notified by email when applications open.

Progression Scholarship: investing in your future

The King’s International Foundation Programme is a challenging year of study which allows students who meet the conditions of their offer to progress to undergraduate study at King’s College London. In recognition of the hard work undertaken in order to meet those offer conditions, all students progressing to undergraduate study at King’s receive a scholarship equivalent to 10% of their first year’s tuition fee. You don’t have to apply, just enrol on your undergraduate degree and the scholarship will be applied to your tuition fee.
