Gaining admission is the beginning of a new journey to greater leadership as a Knight-Hennessy scholar; it is also the culmination of the effort you dedicate to your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying to Knight-Hennessy Scholars (KHS) is not simply checking off a list of requirements. There is no formula for admission, and there are no scores, achievements, or stories that automatically qualify you for admission. Instead, the KHS application is an invitation to show how you demonstrate the qualities we seek in ways that are unique and distinct to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe applying can be a rewarding exercise in reflection about your experiences and your aspirations. We designed the Knight-Hennessy Scholars application with two goals: to help you better know yourself \u2014 what you have done, who you are now, and what you aspire to do in the future \u2014 and also to help us know you better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also acknowledge that applying can take thought and effort. We want to aid you in your planning and preparation, and we have organized our resources to help you through each stage of the application journey. We hope you find inspiration as you learn about our community, clarity as you explore our admission process, and reflection as you complete your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4cec03ffc5f018b56c90ad2faf853a52\"><strong>Before You Apply<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Knight-Hennessy Scholars?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Join a multidisciplinary, multicultural community of graduate students united by independence of thought, purposeful leadership, and civic mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the baseline\u00a0eligibility requirements to apply for Knight-Hennessy Scholars?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knight-Hennessy Scholars has no restrictions based on age, college or university, field of study, or career aspiration.
