Opportunities from Knight-Hennessy Scholars

Knight-Hennessy Scholars provides up to three years of funding for eligible Stanford graduate degrees. During the first three years, scholars receive tuition and associated fees, a stipend for living and academic expenses, and an annual travel stipend for one economy trip to and from Stanford. Newly enrolling scholars also receive a one-time relocation stipend. Applicants must submit separate Knight-Hennessy and Stanford graduate-program applications.

Applicants must apply to and be eligible for an approved full-time Stanford graduate degree. For the 2027 cohort, the first bachelor's degree must generally have been earned in January 2020 or later; military service can extend the window by two years, and current students may apply if they complete their first degree by September 2027. There are no citizenship, age, field-of-study or regional quotas.
