Since the university's establishment in 1419 AH, a specialized administration for scholarship affairs was created. Through this administration, scholarship policies are implemented, and the university's scholarship recipients are served both domestically and abroad. This administration was named the Scholarship Administration due to the importance and status of scholarships at King Khalid University. This administration is affiliated with the Vice Presidency for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research, and the General Supervisor of this administration reports directly to the Vice President for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research.

The Scholarship Administration at the university serves as a liaison between the colleges and their academic departments, or the various administrative departments within the university, and the Saudi cultural attachés in different countries of study abroad. This is achieved through the necessary administrative procedures to deliver what the scholarship recipient needs to their college or department, as well as what the colleges or departments need to convey to their scholarship recipients. This administration also monitors the scholarship recipient at their study location through the cultural attachés to track their academic progress and take any measures necessary to achieve the desired goal of their scholarship.
