Meet the Scholars

We are delighted to announce the scholars in the 2021 cohort of Knight-Hennessy Scholars!

The 75 new scholars come from 26 countries and will pursue degrees in 37 graduate degree programs across all seven of Stanford’s graduate schools. Fifty-seven percent are women and 46% hold a passport from a non-U.S. country. Fifty-six percent of U.S. scholars identify as a person of color, and 11% have served in the U.S. military. The scholars earned undergraduate degrees at 16 international and 32 U.S. institutions. Twenty percent are the first in their family to attend college. 

The 75 new scholars are joined by five scholars deferring from 2020, bringing the cohort size to 80. Profiles of the 2021 cohort of Knight-Hennessy Scholars are listed below alphabetically. Click on the picture to learn more about a scholar.
