• All Graduate Programs at Stanford- Only for Graduate Degrees: You are eligible to apply to the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program if you apply for a full-time degree program at Stanford (e.g., but not limited to, JD, MA, MBA, MD, MS, or PhD) or if you plan to pursue one of Stanford’s many joint and dual degree options.
• First/Bachelor’s Degree Enrolling in 2020 or Later: If you are still studying for your first / bachelor’s degree in college, you are eligible to apply as long as you complete your first / bachelor’s degree before you enrol at Stanford as a graduate student.

• When you graduated more than four years ago with your first / bachelor’s degree, you are not eligible for consideration as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar.
