Community Enrichment Scholarships

Throughout King School’s history, the school has sought to enroll the most capable and talented students from a wide range of economic backgrounds. Thanks to our generous donors, we are able to offer need-based scholarships to students who enrich our community in alignment with our strategic goals:

• Academic Excellence

• Athletics

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

• Community Partnerships

• Institutional Identity

• Strategic Enrollment Management

Community Enrichment Scholarships are multi-year commitments in order to support a student through a certain division or until graduation. Every year, we seek to replace scholarships that are ending and create new scholarships to benefit the King School community.
