At least seven Indian-origin students have been selected for the 2025 cohort of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program at Stanford University, joining a global group of 84 scholars from 25 countries. The students are Saisri Akondi, Shivam Kalkar, Aravind Krishnan, Anvita Gupta, Aneesh Pappu, Veda Sunkara, and Kevin Stephen.

The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program announced its eighth cohort on May 13. Scholars will pursue graduate degrees across all seven Stanford schools, supported with up to three years of financial aid. This year also marks the first time students with citizenship from Cameroon, Haiti, Kazakhstan, Spain, Sudan, and Tunisia have been included.
