‘It is at King’s that we spend perhaps the most socially formative, personally creative, and intellectually stimulating years of our lives’. College life is an experience…that enables students to live for a few years as part of a large, diverse community, with a unique scope to flourish by contributing to, while gaining from, the communal life.’
Mike Vaughan
(1971-1974, Fellow)

“Growing up in Hong Kong,
I remember watching the King’s College rugby team play at the 10s tournament.Today, I hope to represent our rugby team while working towards securing an overseas placement or exchange within my field of study. I am determined to succeed in all aspects of university life, from achieving my academic potential to making lifelong networks.
This bursary means that I can get involved in the College’s tutorial, mentoring and career development programs to helpme achieve my goals.”

“I am passionate about achieving my potential and surrounding myself with individuals who wish to make a positive impact on others.
I enjoy being actively involved in different sports and cultural activities and I strive to be an inspiration to others, demonstrating that anyone can achieve remarkable things!
With the help of this scholarship, I have moved from the Sunshine Coast to attend King’s College and encourage the other residents to connect and contribute to a safe and empathetic environment where they can share their feelings, life experiences, and challenges.”

Anyone who makes a bequest, no matter the amount, receives membership into The Wyvern Society. The Wyvern was chosen as a symbol for the Society as it holds a special place in the hearts and minds of those connected with King’s College. The first Patron of The Wyvern Society was the late Reverend Dr Robert Fulcher (1938-1941), a former Deputy Master and long-term supporter of the College. It is fitting that we honour those who have chosen to remember King’s in this way.
There are many bequest opportunities you may consider. For a confidential conversation about leaving a bequest to King’s College, please contact us so that we can fulfil your wishes.
King’s is proud to stand out for its focus on excellence and providing the best accommodation and support for young men and women attending university. With the support of the King’s community, the Centenary Building and Wensley Wings were constructed as state-of-the-art, eco-friendly residential facilities. A special gift from the McDonald family enabled the construction of the Keith McDonald Court. Donations from the McCulloch and Watson families assisted with the construction of the McCulloch Watson Terrace.

Many of our Old Collegians generously give their time to mentor residents, assist with career advice, and connect alumni to different opportunities via their professional networks. Others also share their knowledge and expertise by participating in College committees.
