Scholarships

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.

Grants

Your FAFSA will determine what grants you qualify for—both from The King’s College and from federal and state government. Grants are need-based and do not need to be repaid.

The King’s Grant is awarded to students who demonstrate need. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for this grant. The King’s Grant is awarded at the discretion of the Office of Financial Aid. The grant is reevaluated each year the FAFSA is completed.

• Federal Grants

  By completing the FAFSA, students are eligible to be considered for the Federal Pell Grant and Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant. Eligibility is determined by information provided on the FAFSA. Students are automatically considered for federal grants; no separate application is required.

• New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)

  TAP helps eligible New York residents pay tuition at approved schools in New York State. Depending on the academic year in which you begin study, an annual TAP award can be up to $5,000. Because TAP is a grant, it does not have to be paid back.

• Enhanced Tuition Award

  The King’s College is participating in the Enhanced Tuition Awards program which provides tuition awards to students who are New York State residents. Recipients will receive $6,000 through a combination of their TAP award, ETA award, and a match from The King’s College.

Loans

Many students have used federal and private loans to fund a quality education that would otherwise be out of reach. King’s students far outpace the national loan repayment rate.

• Federal Direct Loan Programs

  By completing the FAFSA, students are automatically eligible to take out loans in their name through the Direct Stafford Loan Program. All students are pre-approved, and no credit check is required. Students with financial need may receive a portion of their Stafford Loan as a Subsidized Loan.

• First, students will need to complete entrance counseling and fill out the Master Promissory Note. Then, they will accept subsidized and unsubsidized loans in the Student Portal. For more instructions, see our step-by-step Stafford Loan Instructions.

• Parents of students who have completed the FAFSA are eligible to apply for the Direct Parent PLUS Loan, to cover the student’s balance as well as indirect expenses up to the total cost of attendance, pending credit approval. If the parent’s loan application is denied, the student may borrow an additional $4,000 in their unsubsidized Stafford loan. Apply at studentloans.gov.
