In order to help the church increase the number of doctoral scholars of color working in ecumenical and cultural research, the Collegeville Institute's Board of Directors established the Bishop Thomas Hoyt, Jr., Fellowship. North American persons of color who are writing a doctoral dissertation and who apply to the Collegeville Institute's Resident Scholars Program or Short Term Residencies Program are eligible to apply for the Hoyt Fellowship. The fellowship includes fee-free housing at the Collegeville Institute, monetary award to cover travel and research expenses, and all privileges afforded to Resident Scholars or Short Term Resident Scholars. To apply for a Hoyt Fellowship, applicants may use either the Short Term Residencies application or the Resident Scholars Program application. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
