Cost and College Financial Aid

On June 29, 2026, the U.S. Department of Education published an updated list of programs that are considered "professional degree" programs for purposes of federal Direct Loan annual and aggregate borrowing limits. This action was taken in response to a federal court order, and the Department has indicated that the designations are temporary and may change as ongoing litigation proceeds. Given the uncertainty surrounding these changes, King’s College is not currently originating federal Direct Loans based on the newly designated professional degree classifications. We are taking a cautious approach to ensure compliance while the regulatory and legal landscape continues to evolve.

We understand that this uncertainty may be frustrating for students and academic departments. Our Financial Aid Office is reviewing developments as they occur and will provide updates as additional federal guidance becomes available.

What forms of financial aid are available at King's College?

We understand financial fit is a big factor when selecting your school. King's College offers generous scholarship, grant, loan, and work-study programs and encourages all students to apply for financial aid, regardless of need, to determine all possible aid you are eligible to receive.

Everyone can afford to apply for financial aid, including you! In fact, 99% of our first-year students receive financial assistance. In 2026, our average first-year financial aid offer is over $42,000. If you have already received your financial aid offer, you can check out our net price calculator here.
