Any applicants whose first degree is not from a UK university must have commenced their postgraduate studies before applying.
There is no application form. You should provide the following in duplicate;
a personal letter to the Secretary, saying for what course you
want support, how the course will help your career, why you are in financial
need
a full curriculum vitae (CV)

benefits, grants, prizes, savings, investments , loans, etc.) and expenses
(course fees, living expenses, book or equipment costs, travelling costs,
and other overheads)
two confidential letters of reference (from an academic or
professional source. It is of critical importance that references are
provided by someone able to give a detailed and accurate account of the
