Stanford First-Year PhD Open House

Prospective applicants who are first-year PhD students at Stanford are invited to an in-person open house at Denning House. Connect with PhD students in the Knight-Hennessy Scholars community and ask questions about the program, admission process, and application. This session does not include an official presentation, so please join at any time during the event.

This event is intended for prospective 1st-Year PhD applicants already enrolled at Stanford University. If this doesn't sound like you, please find another online information session or admission event on our event calendar.

Our online application for autumn 2024 enrollment opens June 1, 2023, and is due October 11, 2023. 

Please join this event to learn more about Knight-Hennessy Scholars at Stanford University, a multidisciplinary, multicultural graduate scholarship program. Each Knight-Hennessy scholar receives up to three years of financial support to pursue graduate studies at Stanford while participating in engaging experiences that prepare scholars to be visionary, courageous, and collaborative leaders who address complex challenges facing the world. 

You are eligible to apply if you earned (or will earn) your bachelor's degree in 2017 or later. For U.S. military (active or veteran) applicants, you are eligible if you earned your bachelor's degree in 2015 or later. Additionally, current Stanford PhD students in the first year of enrollment may apply if starting at KHS in the second year of PhD enrollment.

If you would like to learn more about Knight-Hennessy Scholars but cannot attend this session, please stay in touch.

Parking at Stanford University is free after 4:00pm Monday-Friday. We recommend you use the Tressider Lot or street parking. Please visit Stanford Transportation for more information.

You will receive details on how to join the event by email following registration.
