Progression Scholarship: investing in your future

graduation

The King’s International Foundation Programme is a challenging year of study which allows students who meet the conditions of their offer to progress to undergraduate study at King’s College London. In recognition of the hard work undertaken in order to meet those offer conditions, all students progressing directly the following year to undergraduate study at King’s receive a scholarship equivalent to 10% of their first year’s tuition fee. Students who take a break between foundation and undergraduate degree are not eligible for this scholarship. You don’t have to apply, just enrol on your undergraduate degree and the scholarship will be applied to your tuition fee.
