Angella P. Current-Felder Women of Color Scholars Program
SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF FEMALE SCHOLAR LEADERS
The Angella P. Current-Felder Women of Color (WOC) Scholars program is administered by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM), and is designed to provide financial, intellectual and personal support to United Methodist women of color pursuing doctorates in religious studies at seminaries and universities across the U.S.
GBHEM created the Woman of Color Scholars program in 1989 to address the absence of women of color faculty in theological education, especially in United Methodist schools. A major part of the WOC program is creating a safe space for mentorship from established Women of Color Scholars, as well as a shared experience and support among other women scholars.
This scholarship is for females born of an African, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American parent (at least one parent); pursuing a PhD or ThD within the field of religious studies who desires to serve on the faculty or in an executive administrative position at a UM-related Theological School.
“I felt that my call was really to go further and complete doctoral study, but I knew I needed support in order to complete my degree” – Rev. Dr. Rosetta Ross
