Eligibility (from official sources)
- Scholars are Stanford graduate students who also join Knight-Hennessy Scholars; you apply to KHS and, separately, to your Stanford degree programme.
- KHS states there is no formula for admission and no scores or achievements that automatically qualify you.
What the funding covers
- A fellowship for up to three years of tuition depending on degree length, a stipend for living and academic expenses, and a travel stipend for one annual trip to and from Stanford.
How to apply
- Read the 'Before you apply' and 'Preparing your applications' sections on the KHS admission page, which also explain the separate process of applying to your Stanford degree programme.
Not officially confirmed

Editorial preparation advice (our suggestions, not official requirements)
- Use the closed period to plan for the 2028 cohort, which opens in June 2027, and attend a KHS information session.
