Description

This event is open to the public and welcomes anyone interested in learning more about the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from an admissions officer who will offer a comprehensive overview of the program, including its mission, benefits, and eligibility criteria. The session will also provide detailed guidance on the application process, important deadlines, and tips for preparing a strong application.

If you are unable to attend the event in person, you are encouraged to join an online information session listed on the event calendar. These virtual sessions mirror the in-person experience and typically include a presentation by an admissions representative, who will walk participants through the application steps and frequently asked questions. In many cases, current Knight-Hennessy Scholars may also participate, sharing personal insights and stories from their time in the program to help prospective applicants better understand what to expect and how to prepare.
