May 16, 2025

Ben Vagle ’22 has been named a 2025 Knight-Hennessy Scholar, one of 84 students from around the world to receive three years of financial support for graduate study at Stanford University.

A government major at Dartmouth, Vagle plans to earn both a JD from Stanford Law School and a PhD in political science from Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. Vagle was editor of World Outlook and a War & Peace Fellow.  

“I was drawn to the program’s interdisciplinary nature and focus on leadership and communication, as I want to ensure that my research ultimately leads to valuable outcomes in the world of policy,” Vagle says.
