Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program

Knight-Hennessy Scholars is a multidisciplinary, multicultural graduate scholarship program at Stanford University. Each Knight-Hennessy scholar receives up to three years of financial support to pursue graduate studies at Stanford while engaging in experiences that prepare scholars to be visionary, courageous, and collaborative leaders who address complex challenges facing the world. Scholars participate in up to three years of leadership development programming that complements their graduate studies and prepares them to take on leadership roles in academia, industry, government, nonprofits, and the community at large. A new cohort of scholars joins each year, adding to a diverse community from across disciplines, nationalities, perspectives, and backgrounds.
