Most named application-based entrance scholarships and bursaries run from January 1 to April 30, 2027, for students entering that fall. Some awards have different windows, for example the Charity of Hope Entrance Award (January 1 to August 15, 2026), the Entrance Bursary (January 1 to July 31, 2026), and the King's Academic Athletic Scholarships (January 1 to October 9, 2026). Automatic academic entrance scholarships and the International Scholars' Grant require no separate deadline beyond the admission offer.

1. Apply for admission to King's through OUAC and receive an offer, which triggers automatic consideration for the High School, International High School, or Post-Secondary Transfer Entrance Scholarship and the International Scholars' Grant where applicable, based on admission average.
2. For named scholarships and bursaries marked "Application Required," complete the scholarships and bursaries application form on the King's finances page.
3. Submit any award-specific documents requested, such as a personal statement, references, or proof of financial need.
4. Awards are confirmed and applied to the student's account once eligibility is verified.

Requirements vary by award: some ask only for the standard admission file, while named awards may require a written statement (for example a 250-word statement for the Charity of Hope Entrance Award, or a 750-word essay for the Social Justice and Peace Scholarship), a pastor's or school reference, or proof of financial need such as a student loan application.

Automatic scholarships are assigned directly from the admission average with no committee review. Named and donor-funded awards are selected against their own published criteria, which can include financial need, community or parish involvement, leadership, or academic standing within a specific group (such as the highest entrance average at an Ontario Catholic high school).
