AWARD

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars is the largest fully endowed scholars program in the world. The program annually identifies a group of 100 high-achieving students from around the world with demonstrated leadership and civic commitment to receive full funding to pursue a graduate education at Stanford, with the goal of developing a new generation of global leaders. 

ELIGIBILITY

1. Open to citizens of all countries. 
2. You must apply to and enroll in any full-time graduate degree program at Stanford (e.g., JD, MA, MBA, MD, MS, or PhD) or one of Stanford’s joint- and dual-graduate degree options (e.g., MD+PhD, JD+MA, MBA+MS).
3. You must apply within four years, and enroll within five years after you earn your first bachelor’s degree.
4. Eligibility requirements for the scholars program are the same as the Stanford graduate program(s) that you wish to pursue.
