Two Princeton seniors and three alumni have been named Knight-Hennessy Scholars. Scholars receive up to three years of funding toward a graduate degree at Stanford University.
This year’s recipients are Class of 2025 members Gil Joseph and Sabrina Nicacio, Class of 2021 member Jimin Kang, and Class of 2019 members Mikaela Gerwin and Nick Wu. They will join a cohort of 84 scholars from around the world. The fellowship program develops “emerging leaders who have a commitment to the greater good and the tools needed to drive meaningful change,” according to the announcement.
Mikaela Gerwin, from New York City, will pursue a J.D. from Stanford Law School and a master’s degree in history from the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. She graduated from Princeton with a bachelor’s degree in history and a certificate in global health and health policy. Gerwin’s international experiences include participating in the Novogratz Bridge Year Program in Peru and studying abroad in Spain. After Princeton, Gerwin received a master’s degree in history and philosophy of science and medicine from the University of Cambridge, where she was a Gates Cambridge Scholar.
