Study in USA - Knight-Hennessy Scholarship at Stanford University 2023-24

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars programme at Stanford University cultivates a diverse, multidisciplinary community of future leaders from across the world and guides them as they prepare to confront society's challenging concerns. Scholars will enhance their knowledge, acquire skills, and build their character through community activities, workshops, meetings with leaders, domestic and worldwide study excursions, and personal development opportunities through the King Global Leadership Program.

Eligibility:

There are two basic qualifying criteria.

To begin, in addition to applying to Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS), you must apply to, be accepted by, and enrol in a full-time Stanford graduate degree programme, such as the DMA, JD, MA, MBA, MD, MFA, MPP, MS, or PhD. You must fulfil at least one of the following four requirements:

You are applying to KHS and a full-time Stanford graduate degree programme separately but concurrently, so that you can begin both in the same year.

You have already been accepted and delayed admission to a full-time Stanford graduate degree programme, and you plan to apply to KHS in the same year.

You are a current Stanford graduate student who wishes to add a second full-time Stanford graduate degree programme, beginning both KHS and the new programme in the same year.

You are a current Stanford PhD student in your first year of enrollment, and you plan to apply to KHS in your second year of PhD enrollment.

Second, you must have received a U.S. bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a recognised institution or university in January 2016 or later. To apply for the 2023 cohort, you must have obtained a bachelor's degree by January 2016 or later; to apply for the 2024 cohort, you must have earned a bachelor's degree by January 2016 or later.
