"I realized that there was so much to my story that aligned with the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship without trying to fit a particular mold. I'd suggest other students think deeply about their values – the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program is very much a value-driven community, just like Wellesley – and share their global mission."
“The Watson Fellowship is the opportunity of a lifetime... it’s brought me to places I’d never dreamed of visiting, given me friends in every corner of the world, and allowed me to not just visit, but truly inhabit, incredible communities in other cultures.”
