Tuition benefits at King's College are extended to all full-time active employees of Wilkes University and their spouses and dependents and apply to undergraduate tuition only. All other applicable fees must be paid by the individual receiving the tuition grant.

The tuition grant is limited to a supplement to other grants the individual is eligible to receive from any other source. Eligible participants must apply for all appropriate financial assistance from outside agencies; specifically, the participant must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by May 1 of each year. These funds shall be deducted from the tuition grant extended. Eligible participants must apply for tuition benefits through the Financial Aid Officer of the institution at which they are matriculants.

Eligible participants must meet the admission requirements of the institution by filing applications and related documents with the Director of Admissions well in advance of the opening of the semester for which they are applying.
