The Knight Hennessy Scholarship is an international graduate-level scholarship program aimed at assisting international scholars to study any course at Stanford University. Established in 2016, the Knight Hennessy Scholarship program prepares students to take leadership roles in finding creative solutions to complex global challenges.
Scholars, through this program, are expected to broaden their knowledge, develop their skills, and strengthen their character as a result of community experiences, workshops, meetings with leaders, domestic and global study trips, and personal development opportunities they will be exposed to.
A new cohort of scholars from across the globe and disciplines joins each year. With the coming together of these scholars from different backgrounds, races, nationalities and disciplines, they learn together, collaborate on impactful projects, and develop lifelong friendships with the objective of finding long-lasting global unity. Knight Hennessy scholars are visionary thinkers who are curious, open-minded, analytical, eager for cross-cultural perspective, and genuinely excited to boldly and creatively address our world’s crucial challenges.
