Entrance bursaries

General entrance bursaries

If you are a new full-time student who can demonstrate financial need, you may be eligible for a King’s bursary. To apply for an entrance bursary, please identify that you plan to apply for a student loan on the Financial Aid page of your admission application. If you answer “yes” to this question, you will be offered a $1,000 entrance bursary. Receiving a student loan will be verified with King’s Student Account’s Office. Once verification has been made, your entrance bursary will be applied to your student account. No other application is necessary.

In-course bursaries

Urgent Need Bursary Program

This program is for students who find themselves in urgent financial need once in any given academic term. The program provides bursaries of up to $500, depending on the urgent need that is demonstrated by each applying student.

Urgent need bursaries will be paid directly to the students to whom they are awarded. They will not be applied against any money the student may owe the university on their student account.

These bursaries are open to all students regardless of whether they have or are eligible for a student loan. The only eligibility requirement is to be in urgent financial need. Students requiring greater assistance than is available through the urgent need bursary program are encouraged to apply for a general bursary or the appropriate government-funded student aid program.

To apply

Email awards@ukings.ca using the subject “Urgent Need Bursary” and provide a one-paragraph description of the urgent need and the circumstances giving rise to it. As ever, the privacy and confidentiality of each applying student will be respected.
