Stanford University Opportunities

KHS funding can cover up to three years. During the first three years, scholars receive a fellowship applied to tuition and associated fees, a stipend for living and academic expenses, and an annual travel stipend for an economy-class trip to and from Stanford. Newly enrolling scholars also receive a one-time relocation stipend; second- and third-year scholars may apply for supplemental academic-enrichment funds. Funding after three years for longer programs follows the graduate program's standard commitment.

Citizens and residents of all countries may apply. Applicants must apply to, be accepted by and enroll in an eligible full-time Stanford graduate degree program under one of KHS's permitted routes. For the 2027 cohort, the first bachelor's degree must normally have been earned in January 2020 or later; applicants with qualifying military service have the stated two-year extension, and current college students may qualify if the first degree is completed by September 2027.
