About this opportunity
Knight-Hennessy Scholars funds graduate study at Stanford University for the 2027 cohort. Applicants must complete separate applications for the scholarship and their intended Stanford graduate degree program.
Benefits
Covers tuition and associated fees, provides stipends for living and academic expenses and annual travel, and gives newly enrolling scholars a relocation stipend. Funding is provided for up to three years, with longer PhD programmes using their standard departmental funding after that period.
Requirements
Online application, resume, transcripts and applicable test scores, recommendation letters, short answers and an essay. Applicants must also apply to and secure admission to an eligible full-time Stanford graduate programme; the KHS application has no fee, but the Stanford degree application may charge a fee.
How to apply
Submit the Knight-Hennessy Scholars application online and separately apply to the intended Stanford graduate programme by its KHS deadline or December 1, 2026, whichever is earlier.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
