Jimin Kang ’21 is among two Princeton seniors and three alumni who have been named Knight-Hennessy Scholars. Scholars receive up to three years of funding toward a graduate degree at Stanford University.
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.
Kang, from Seoul, South Korea, will pursue a Ph.D. in comparative literature at the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. She graduated from Princeton with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Portuguese with certificates in journalism, creative writing, environmental studies and Latin American studies.
Prior to arriving at Princeton, Kang participated in the Novogratz Bridge Year Program in Brazil. She was a Sachs Scholar at Oxford’s Worcester College, where she earned a master of studies in comparative literature and critical translation as well as a master of science in nature, society and environmental governance.
