Starting in fall 2018, Knight-Hennessy Scholars will annually welcome up to 100 high-achieving students to campus who are independent thinkers, have demonstrated leadership, and civic commitment. Scholars will receive full funding to pursue a postgraduate education at Stanford, may pursue studies at any of the universitys seven internationally top-ranked graduate schools, and will be educated to navigate across business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sectors. The application submission deadline is September 27, 2017, with an accelerated November 15, 2017, deadline for most Stanford graduate degree program applications (other than MBA and MD, which have mid-September deadlines).
