Knight Hennessy Scholars Program
The Knight-Hennessy Scholars recommendations are the only reference letters that the program will review before providing input to the graduate program at Standford University.

Once the graduate degree program shares its feedback with the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program, they also will review the departmental recommendation letters. As such, the recommendation choices for the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program should make a compelling independent case, and also complement the references of the graduate program.
It's fine for the same person to provide recommendations for your graduate department and for the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program, if this is your situation it is important that you submit distinctive letters of reference that address the questions each application requires.
Knight-Hennessy asks the writer to assess some character and leadership traits in the reference letters, and to address the following questions:
•Please explain how you know and interact with the candidate.
•Tell us about a time the candidate did something that benefited others.
•Tell us about a time the candidate did something that surprised you.
•Is there anything else (positive or constructive) that we should know about the candidate?
