The Charter Awards

Funding 50 full bursaries, forever

Our 50 at 500 vision

Education can change lives. Bursaries can open doors to new experiences and put young people on different paths, helping them to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Through the Charter Awards, King’s aims to build on our proud tradition of supporting bursaries, providing 50 full means-tested places, 500 years after our first 50 scholars. Phase one of our campaign (2023 – 2026) aims to raise £3m towards this target, supporting more children who have the ability and determination to have their lives transformed by a King’s education.

To all those who have already supported bursaries and the Charter Awards, thank you. Your support means so much to us and to the pupils that we help. If you are yet to commit, please join us in our mission to give to children’s futures and transform more lives than ever before.
