The King's Scholarship Objectives
- Encouraging Academic Excellence: The primary objective of The King's Scholarship is to recognise and celebrate exceptional academic performance among students in Southport's high schools. We aim to inspire a culture of academic excellence and motivate students to strive to achieve their full potential.

By investing in the educational future of local students, we aim to build lasting relationships with high schools, parents, and the broader community, demonstrating our commitment to supporting the aspirations of Southport's youth.
