Entrance Benefits for U.S. Students

Beginning in September 2012, the University of King’s College is pleased to offer two new scholarships for U.S. students.

Weldon Award

The purpose of this award is to assist in defraying the travel costs for students with financial need hoping to attend King’s. The Weldon Award is named for Susanna Weldon, who donated her collection of over 300 pieces of pottery and porcelain to the University. These pieces were collected by the Weldon family from travelers arriving from worldwide locations. It is one of the oldest collections of ceramics in Canada. Read more at ukings.ca/collections.

The Weldon Award is valued at $2,250 annually, and is renewable for up to four years.
 

Mather Byles Award

The Mather Byles award was created in acknowledgement of King’s historic link to the US through Columbia University in New York and the loyalists who left that institution to found King’s. (http://www.ukings.ca/history). Mather Byles is a well-known, outspoken loyalist whose portrait can be found in the University archives.

The Mather Byles Award is valued at $2,250 annually, and is renewable for up to four years.
