Institutional Support or Endorsement Required: This award does not require Emory endorsement; however, if you wish to receive comprehensive advising support, including feedback from National Scholarships and Fellowships Program staff, and be considered for university endorsement, you will need to complete a pre-application and indicate your intent to apply by June 3, 2024.
Students who do not pre-apply by this date will not be eligible to receive university endorsement or feedback, but may still apply independently to Stanford University and the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program.
The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program looks for candidates that demonstrate the following three qualities: 1) independence of thought; 2) purposeful leadership; and 3) a civic mindset. Each year the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program will identify a group of 100 high-achieving students from around the world with demonstrated leadership and civic commitment to receive full funding to pursue a wide-ranging graduate education at Stanford, with the goal of developing a new generation of global leaders.
