How to apply

Langham Scholarships are for those who can demonstrate both academic excellence and proven abilities as strategic Christian leaders. Each year we receive many more applications than we can support, but each application is considered carefully and prayerfully.

These documents will be required reading in order to proceed through the Enquiry process.

As the first stage in the application process, submit the Initial Enquiry Form by clicking the ‘Apply for PhD Scholarship’ button. Please note that this link will only be available from April through September each year, and any scholarship awards granted will commence in the following year's September/October.

Applicants must be Majority World Christian leaders in pursuit of a PhD in one of the following areas:

• Old Testament
• New Testament
• Theology
• Ethics
• Church History
• Intercultural Studies (Provided it involves substantial interaction with Scripture and theology)

We are particularly interested in applications from those seeking to undertake research in contextual homiletics, and from applicants in Asia, Africa, or the MENA region engaged in biblical interpretation in Muslim-majority contexts.

If your initial enquiry is successful, you will be invited to proceed to our main application package to complete, as the next stage in the application process.

Your application may be sent for confidential review by senior Christian leaders or Langham Graduates in your region. Final decisions are made by the Langham Partnership Scholars’ Programme. Decisions are usually finalised before the end of June, but on some occasions later than this.
