Merit Scholarship Program

The King's Academy Merit Scholarship Program awards merit-based scholarships to select outstanding Grade 7 and Grade 9 boarding program applicants. 

Applicants interested in the King's Academy Merit Scholarship Program need to apply before the January 15 deadline. Recipients will be selected based on the following criteria: 

  • Demonstrated academic excellence at their current school 
  • Performance on the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) 
  • Other qualities or talents that will have a positive impact on the King's Academy community

Eligibility 
Candidates applying for a new Merit Scholarship (Grades 7 or 9 applicants) are required to: 

  1. Complete an in-person interview with members of the Merit Scholarship Committee
  2. Be applying to Grade 7 or Grade 9 
  3. Complete a boarding program contract when they enter the Upper School 

Candidates renewing their Merit Scholarship are required to: 

  • Maintain an honors GPA of 3.5 (of a 4.0 scale) or above 

Award Details 
Only students applying to Grade 7 and Grade 9 will be invited to apply for a Merit Scholarship. No more than six (6) scholarships will be granted in a given year. Distribution of Grade 7 and Grade 9 will depend on the applicant pool.  

Grade 7 Merit Scholarships: Grade 7 awardees will receive a scholarship of JOD 3,750 in both Grades 7 and 8, assuming they meet the expectations to renew the scholarship in Grade 8. Once a Grade 7 Merit Scholarship recipient moves to Grade 9 in the Upper School, the award will increase up to JOD 7,500 per year.  

Grade 9 Merit Scholarships: Grade 9 awardees will be eligible to receive a scholarship of JOD 7,500 per year for each year they are enrolled in the Upper School. 

Students may apply for both need-based financial aid and a Merit Award, but they will only be awarded one of the two grants.
