Statement of Faith
The Langham Partnership is an evangelical organization affirming the historic Christian faith. Applications for grants will only be considered from those holding to the doctrines of the historic Christian faith. All grant recipients are required to annually sign the Langham Partnership International Statement of Faith.

Scholarship Agreement
To best support the Ph.D. student, we work with both the sending institution in the Majority World (where the scholar will serve as faculty upon completing the Ph.D.) and the student’s academic mentor to

encourage and hold him or her accountable to a rigorous academic pace and
support his pledge to return home to teach immediately upon completion of the degree.

This partnership is initiated by means of a Grant Agreement.
