Angella P. Current-Felder Women of Color Scholars Program
![WOC-2-768×512](https://www.gbhem.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/WOC-2-768x512-1.jpg)
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”
