Scholarships and bursaries help to enable talented students from all backgrounds to experience life at King’s — a unique environment where students live, learn, and grow together.
Each scholarship is more than financial support. It is belief — in a student, in education, and in community.
Over 70 years on, that vision continues to shape the College.
While the College leadership evolves, our purpose remains constant: to help students thrive academically, grow as leaders, and contribute to the wider community. For many students, however, a King’s collegiate experience is only possible through the generosity of others.
Annual giving strengthens the College’s future and builds a shared culture of philanthropy. Together, we create lasting impact.

Dr Marie Siganto AM Scholarship 2026 RecipientIndigo (Indie) Jones (King’s 2026–)
Bachelor of Music, UQ
The Dr Marie Siganto AM Scholarship has been pivotal in Indie’s transition to university life. Without it, she would not have been able to accept her place at King’s College. Beyond easing financial pressure, it enabled her to access the College’s academic and residential opportunities.
Now in her first year, Indie is embracing study and community life. With a strong background in leadership and music, she is eager to contribute to the College’s culture while continuing to grow.
“During my time at King’s College and university, I aim to grow academically and personally while contributing to the College community. I look forward to supporting musical activities and creating opportunities for others to perform and make music together.”
King’s Core Values Scholarship 2025 RecipientJye Fong (King’s 2023–2025)
Bachelor of Health, Sport and Physical Education (Honours), UQ
Jye had received scholarships during his time at King’s and was proud to be awarded the King’s Core Values Scholarship for 2025.
Rising college costs can place pressure on students and families. For Jye, the scholarship reduced financial stress and made returning in 2025 more achievable, giving him the freedom to focus on study and college life.
Studying Secondary Education at the University of Queensland involves long hours and school placements across Brisbane. The scholarship’s stability helped Jye balance these commitments and succeed academically.
“The scholarship made returning to King’s much easier for my family and eased financial pressure. It allowed me to focus on my studies and fully experience college life. I’m very grateful to the donors—your support has made a real difference.”

Named after the Wyvern, a beloved symbol in the King’s community, the Society honours those who have chosen to leave a legacy. Its first Patron was the late Rev. Dr Robert Fulcher (King’s 1938–1941), former Deputy Master and lifelong supporter of King’s.
