About Eton Kings Scholarship
The goal of the examination is to select the King’s Scholars, accommodated in College under the care of the Master-in-College. The number of vacancies in College changes from year to year, but averages fourteen. An Election Roll is published at Eton after the examination. The Roll contains all those who have qualified for King’s Scholarships, and the Annah Shaw and Martineau awards.
Eton Kings Scholarship Eligibility Requirements
- Applicants must either be aged 13 on Monday 1 September 2024 or must have turned 14 during August 2024
where Eton has previously agreed that the boy may defer his entry by a year due to an August birthday. - All candidates from UK schools are required to have taken the computerized Eton List Conditional Place Test and achieve a satisfactory score. Those boys who have not already taken the test at the age of 11 may still apply and will be required to take the test on Tuesday 25 January 2024.
- Applications received after Monday 3 January 2024 will be required to take the test on Tuesday 8 February 2024. Those who achieve a satisfactory score will then be entered for the Scholarship examination.
- For candidates attending schools outside the UK who are not registered, an alternative option is available which would avoid travel to the UK for assessment and hence reduce costs. Such candidates may be assessed by UKiset (https://www.ukiset.com/), taking their test locally and the results submitted to the Director of
Admissions. A decision would then be made as to whether the candidate would be eligible to sit for the King’s Scholarship. Eton would prefer that the test is taken in the autumn term (September – December) of the scholarship year but would consider tests taken earlier. Those considering this option should contact UKiset either by e-mail at [email protected] or by telephone on +44 (0) 207 766 9792. UKiset must provide the complete set of results to [email protected] by 5 January 2024. - Prior to Friday 25 March 2024, we must receive from a candidate’s current head teacher a report which demonstrates to our satisfaction that the candidate is sufficiently strong academically to sit the King’s Scholarship examination.
- No boy who is already in the school may compete.
- If a candidate is found to have accepted a scholarship or similar award at another school, he shall not be allowed to sit for or complete the examination, or if he has completed the examination his name shall not appear on or shall be removed from the Election Roll unless the authorities of the school where he has already obtained an award shall first have signified to the Provost their concurrence in the boy’s candidature at Eton.
