Transcripts & Test Scores
Transcript
The transcript allows you to provide a record of academic performance that helps us assess your preparation for rigorous graduate-level study at Stanford.
Please scan and upload transcripts of your academic performance at the undergraduate level (and graduate level, if applicable) for each institution you attended for one academic year or longer. You may submit an unofficial transcript, or you may use this self-reported transcript form. Your transcript must, if applicable, include the degree conferred and the conferral date. We do not require transcripts from study-abroad experiences if those credits are included on your transcript.
Test Scores
The test scores allow you to provide a record of standardized exam performance that helps us assess your preparation for rigorous graduate-level study at Stanford.
Knight-Hennessy Scholars follows the practices of your graduate degree program(s): if your graduate degree program does not require standardized tests, then you do not need to submit any with your Knight-Hennessy Scholars application.
If your graduate degree program(s) requires test scores, including English proficiency exams, then you must submit them to Knight-Hennessy Scholars by your graduate degree program's application deadline or the Knight-Hennessy Scholars application deadline, whichever is later.
