The King’s Scholars-in-Residence Program provides students with an opportunity to live with and learn from a vibrant community of peers.
The Scholars-in-Residence Program encourages upper-year students to live on campus as a research community in an environment that fosters their ongoing academic excellence. This community of Scholars will connect academically high-achieving students with one another, along with resources on campus and opportunities for further intellectual and leadership development.
Eligibility
King’s students in scholarship standing in any graduate program, or undergraduate program entering at least their third year, are eligible to apply. Students must be able to demonstrate academic achievement and a commitment to the life of the College. Students in their thesis-writing year are particularly encouraged to apply.
Expectations
Students selected as Scholars-in-Residence will live in residence during the 2021-2022 academic year in a guaranteed single room. Students will organize one academic-related community program a year. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Residence colloquia on topics or thinkers of interest
- Excursion to archives, galleries or performances
- Guest presentations or workshops with invited speakers
- Round table conversations on research questions
- “Three-minute thesis” talks spotlighting students’ academic work
Scholars-in-Residence are encouraged to discuss how their academic work is progressing throughout the year with others in the King’s community, and will be role models particularly to first-year students.
