King's Living Bursary 2025-26

The King's Living Bursary is King's College London's commitment to financially assisting home undergraduate students who need extra funding to complete their studies. The bursary provides non-repayable financial support based on household income for full-time home undergraduate students and those undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). Students do not need to apply for the bursary; they will be contacted automatically if they meet the eligibility criteria, which includes being means-tested through Student Finance England/Wales/NI/SAAS with a household income of £42,875 or less. The bursary amount varies depending on the household income and year of entry, ranging from £1,200 to £2,000 per year. For new students starting in 2025-26, those with household incomes of £25,000 or less receive £2,000, while those with incomes between £25,001 and £33,500 receive £1,900, and those with incomes between £33,501 and £42,875 receive £1,600. The bursary is paid in two equal installments, typically in November and February. This funding is specifically designed to support living costs while studying and does not need to be repaid.
