The Knight-Hennessy Scholars

New Leaders for New Challenges

We believe Knight-Hennessy Scholars will attract the most promising future leaders from all disciplines and geographies to Stanford University. Here, you will engage in a transformative experience comprising multidisciplinary education, leadership development, and achieving a global perspective.

We are designing the Knight-Hennessy Scholars admission process with the goals of allowing you to know yourself better, enabling us to understand you, and empowering you to make your best case for admission - all while making the admission process itself a great experience for you.

A Distinctive Opportunity

Roughly 2,000 graduate students enroll at Stanford each year. All of you are amazing. 100 of you (75 in the second year) will be Knight-Hennessy Scholars. If you aspire to become a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, you'll be in good company.

From Many Backgrounds, One Cohort

Your fellow Scholars will span all seven schools at Stanford. The student and faculty community of your home department will be your primary affiliation, and the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program will provide you with access to unique additional opportunities to develop, grow, and learn.

Your fellow Knight-Hennessy Scholars will join Stanford from colleges and universities throughout the world, from a wide array of disciplines and professional experiences, and with a breadth of background, belief, and aspiration. This is a multifaceted community united by your shared potential for leadership, your belief in positive change, and your humility and kindness.

Eligibility

We encourage applications to Knight-Hennessy Scholars from citizens of all countries. That’s natural since we expect Knight-Hennessy Scholars to have global impact.

We expect that over time about one-third of our scholars will be from the U.S., and about two thirds will be from countries outside the U.S. Those numbers will fluctuate from year to year, since our goal is to admit the world’s very best students, regardless of location.

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars application is now available. The deadline to apply for enrollment in fall 2019 is September 12, 2018.
