Scholarship Value

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program at Stanford University is committed to providing comprehensive support for its scholars. Here's what the scholarship covers:

  • Full tuition fees for your chosen program.
  • A travel stipend to cover an economy-class ticket for an annual trip to and from Stanford.
  • A stipend for living and academic expenses, which includes room and board, books, academic supplies, local transportation, and personal expenses.

While the scholarship is generous, it's important to note that it typically does not cover costs that your home department at Stanford pays for its students, such as subscriptions or lab equipment.
