Application Requirements/ Eligibility Criteria:

First, You must apply to, be accepted by, and enroll in a full-time Stanford graduate degree program, such as, but not limited to, DMA, JD, MA, MBA, MD, MFA, MPP, MS, or PhD programs, in addition to applying to Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS). At least one of the following four requirements must be met by you:

• You are simultaneously applying for both KHS and a full-time graduate program at Stanford, so you can begin both in the same academic year.
• You will apply to KHS so that you can start both in the same year even if you have already been admitted to a full-time Stanford graduate degree program and have chosen to defer your start date.
• You are a current graduate student at Stanford who will submit an application to add a second full-time graduate degree program so that you can begin KHS and the new program in the same academic year.
• You are currently enrolled in your first year of the Stanford Ph.D. program and plan to apply to KHS so that you can begin KHS in your second year of Ph.D. enrollment.

Second, You must have graduated from an accredited college or institution in the United States with a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent by January 2016 or later.

You must have received your bachelor’s degree by January 2016 or later to apply to join the cohort in 2023, and you must have received your bachelor’s degree by January 2017 or later to apply to join the cohort in 2024.
