GBHEM serves the leadership needs of the global United Methodist Church and is ready to walk beside you on your leadership journey in whatever part of the world you call home. To that end, there are nine regional Leadership, Development Education Hubs (LEAD Hubs) – in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America – that connect the Methodist Global Education Fund for Leadership Development with Methodist-related educational institutions.

Learn more about the LEAD Hubs, including the development of lay and clergy leadership in each region, the work specific to regional hubs, and global associations and education programs designed to prepare leaders and difference makers who can change the world.

Through the International Grants and Scholarship Program (GRASP), GBHEM has established a program to help offset the costs of education for students studying at a Methodist-related institution within a Central Conference. This is a competitive, need-based scholarship for United Methodist students enrolled in a college, seminary or university.

The Methodist Global Education Fund, approved by General Conference in 2004, helps support students through scholarships and facilitates technical assistance to Central Conference partners.
