Who actually gets into Knight-Hennessy? The answer might surprise you. The cohort is far more diverse than most people assume.
Knight-Hennessy is not a scholarship dominated by Ivy League graduates from privileged backgrounds. The 17% first-generation rate and 11% military veteran rate tell a clear story: the program values diverse life experiences and non-traditional paths.
The program distribution shows that while the GSB (MBA) is the largest single program, it doesn't dominate. Scholars come from nearly every Stanford school, including less "obvious" programs in education, sustainability, and interdisciplinary degrees.
Percentages are approximate, based on publicly available data from KHS annual reports and cohort announcements.
What scholars actually do beyond their Stanford degree — the enrichment program that defines the KHS experience.
