Knight-Hennessy Scholars develop deep domain expertise in their Stanford graduate program, and build on this domain expertise through exposure to a wide range of disciplines and cultures within the KHS community. Scholars participate in the King Global Leadership Program (KGLP), which includes workshops, lectures, projects, and experiences that strengthen transformational leadership capabilities. Through KGLP, scholars collaborate and prepare to address important challenges and opportunities facing the world, such as climate change, healthcare, government and policy, and education.
In addition to applying to Knight-Hennessy Scholars, applicants must apply to, be accepted by, and enroll in a full-time Stanford graduate degree program, including, but not limited to, DMA, JD, MA, MBA, MD, MFA, MPP, MS, or Ph.D. programs. Second, applicants must have earned, in January 2017 or later, a U.S. bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a college or university of recognized standing.
Knight-Hennessy Scholars receive funding for up to three years for any graduate degree(s) at Stanford. This funding applies to the degree(s) to which scholars are preparing to enroll at the time of scholar selection. During each of the first three years of graduate study, Knight-Hennessy Scholars receive several types of funding: a fellowship applied directly to cover tuition and associated fees, a stipend for living and academic expenses (such as room and board, books, academic supplies, instructional materials, local transportation, and reasonable personal experiences), and a travel stipend intended to cover an economy-class ticket for one annual trip to and from Stanford.
