King's Scholar

A King's Scholar is a student awarded a prestigious scholarship at certain historic schools, such as Westminster School or Eton College, often established by royal patronage. These students typically receive special recognition, financial support, or privileges, reflecting their academic achievement, leadership qualities, or potential. The title "King's Scholar" signifies a long-standing tradition of excellence and connection to the monarchy. While originally linked to serving or representing the crown, today it mainly denotes a distinguished status within the school community, embodying a commitment to academic and ethical standards.
