The application process for the 2026 Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS) cohort is officially open. Interested candidates must submit their materials by October 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. To be considered, you need to apply both to the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program and to a Stanford University graduate degree program at the same time. While the KHS deadline is fixed, individual Stanford program deadlines may vary and, in some cases, may fall earlier.
This prestigious program is the world’s largest fully endowed graduate fellowship that spans across all disciplines at Stanford, offering comprehensive financial support for up to three years of study.
