The Program

A Unique Opportunity.

Building upon the deep domain expertise that Knight-Hennessy Scholars develop in their home departments, scholars gain exposure to a wide range of disciplines and cultures in the Knight-Hennessy community, and participate in the King Global Leadership Program (KGLP), which is designed to develop transformational leadership capabilities. Within KGLP, scholars collaborate and begin to address important challenges facing the world, such as climate change, healthcare inequity, the future of education, and criminal justice reform.

Leadership Development
Through the King Global Leadership Program (KGLP) you will gain a multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective, develop leadership skills and traits, including creative problem solving, decision making during uncertainty, and effective collaboration.
Funding
Knight-Hennessy Scholars receive up to three years of funding to pursue graduate study at Stanford. This includes the JD, MA, MBA, MD, MFA, MS, DMA, and PhD programs, as well as joint- and dual-degrees.
Community
Denning House is the home of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program. It serves as the convening hub for the community, enabling scholars to learn together, and to share ideas and experiences.
