The 2026 Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS) Programme at Stanford University is now open to applications, with interested graduate students across Nigeria encouraged to apply before the October 8, 2025, deadline.
The programme offers full funding for graduate studies, leadership development opportunities, and access to a diverse community of global scholars.
According to the organisers, the initiative is designed to equip exceptional students with the skills and networks needed to address complex challenges worldwide. Applications must be submitted online via Stanford’s portal by 9:00 p.m. on the deadline date.
Aspiring applicants are advised to carefully review the programme’s selection criteria and demonstrate how their unique experiences and attributes align with the scholarship’s values, rather than adopting a formulaic approach.
