The Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program at Stanford University 2024

The Knight–Hennessy Scholars Program is organized to prepare a new generation of global leaders to address the increasingly complex challenges of the 21st century.

ELIGIBILITY CONDITIONS FOR THE KNIGHT-HENNESSY SCHOLARS PROGRAM

• The organisers encourage applications to Knight-Hennessy Scholars from citizens of all countries. That’s natural since we expect Knight-Hennessy Scholars to have global impact.
• Must hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree from a college or university of recognized standing.
• You are eligible to apply to the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program if you are applying to enroll in any full-time graduate degree program at Stanford (for example, but not limited to, DFA, Eng, JD, MA, MBA, MD, MFA, MS, or PhD) or if you plan on pursuing one of Stanford’s many joint- and dual- graduate degree options (for example, but not limited to, MD+PhD, JD+MA, MBA+MS).
• Also, if you earned your bachelor’s degree in 2014 or later, you are eligible to apply (2012 or later for US Military).

DURATION OF PROGRAM

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program funds up to the first three years of your graduate education, and if your degree program exceeds three years – such as an MD or PhD program, or a Stanford dual- or joint-degree program – then your Stanford home department will fund the remainder of your education to the extent consistent with its standard funding commitment for that program. (That is, e.g., six years for PhDs in engineering, five years for PhDs in humanities.)
