Applications for scholarships will only be considered from those holding to the doctrines of the historic Christian faith. All scholarship recipients are required to annually sign the Langham Partnership International Statement of Faith.
Scholarship AgreementTo 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 or her pledge to remain in the Majority World to teach upon completion of the degree.
This partnership is initiated by means of a Grant Agreement.
