King’s Bangkok Academic Excellence Scholarship

The King’s Bangkok Academic Excellence Scholarship is a unique opportunity to access a world-class, academically rigorous education based on the British curriculum. It is designed to widen access to King's College International School Bangkok education for highly able students who would otherwise face significant financial barriers.

Successful candidates will be prepared for excellence in public examinations and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, enabling them to access leading universities worldwide.  

The scholarship is aimed at academically outstanding students entering Year 10 or Year 12 in the 2026/2027 academic year, commencing in August 2026.

Successful scholars will receive full fee remission, along with uniform, learning equipment and devices, and other relevant support until graduating in Year 13.

Upon securing a place at a recognised university, scholars will be entitled to an additional one million baht to support their further studies.

Last academic year marked a proud milestone for King’s Bangkok as we celebrated the inaugural graduating class of 2025. The cohort also included our first recipients of the King’s Bangkok Academic Excellence Scholarship.

We are delighted to see our scholars continue to progress in their learning journey. They have flourished both within King's Bangkok and now beyond it, and we are proud of the paths they are taking.

With this in mind, we remain committed to the King’s Bangkok Academic Excellence Scholarship's intent: our goal is not for students to give back to the school, but to pay it forward by contributing to society in the future.
