Here you will find information for both undergraduate and graduate/advanced students regarding international tuition fees as well as scholarship/bursary information.
If you are an international student (not a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident) entering the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Journalism (Honours), you will be part of King’s International Student Tuition Guarantee.
The price a student pays for tuition would be the same in each year of their program, with the rate held for up to five years of study (four-year standard program length, plus one additional year if needed). It should be noted that the tuition amounts are irrespective of the number of courses the student is taking.
Guaranteed Tuition in 2026/27 – $37,992 per year (CAD), plus incidental fees.
Incidental fees subject to change each year.
This tuition fee does not include the cost of housing or meal plan.
Starting in September 2025, NSISP graduates who attend King’s are eligible to pay out-of-province domestic tuition rates. These waivers are renewable up to four years of a student’s first undergraduate degree at King’s and applicants must be coming to King’s directly from high school. This means your approximate tuition savings would be over $20,000 per year! Email admissions@ukings.ca for details.
(The waiver will be posted to one’s student account the first business day after the term due date, which is also the last day to add/drop courses for the term. Students who wish to discuss their student account further can email: accounts@ukings.ca).
This award provides up to a $12,000 tuition waiver for all full-time, registered international students in undergraduate degrees for the 2026-2027 academic year. This excludes students who are eligible for the NSISP tuition waiver. Following a successful visa application and course registration, students will have the waiver automatically applied to their student account (assessed and applied by term) – no application necessary!

General Entrance Scholarships (value $1,000-$5,000) are based on your admission average – no scholarship application is required. All secondary students who apply for admission to King’s with a September entry (in the BA, BSc, BJH and BMus programs) will automatically be considered for these awards.
Major Entrance Scholarships are also available: the Ralph and Carrie Wright Memorial Scholarship (value $39,000) and the Debra Dean and Robert Little Academic Scholarship (value $20,000) are both open to international students. For these awards, an additional application is required and must be submitted before March 1.
