Who can apply

  • Applicants from all countries are eligible

  • For the 2027 cohort, applicants generally need a recent first bachelor's degree, with the cut-off date set by the scholarship
  • You can pair it with your Stanford graduate degree application

My Advice

Check the current cohort's degree-date cut-off before you invest time in the application, since it decides your eligibility. Then prepare your Stanford programme application and the scholarship together so the two stay consistent.
