The King's Scholarship

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 and those further afield. We aim to inspire a culture of academic excellence and motivate students to strive to achieve their full potential.
• Recognising High Achievers: These scholarships serve as a prestigious recognition of outstanding academic achievements. By honouring high achievers, we aim to provide encouragement and support to students who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and commitment to their studies.
• Strengthening Community Bonds: The introduction of scholarships linked to each high school in Southport aims to foster stronger connections between KGV Sixth Form College and the local community. 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 our region's youth.
