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 also eligible to apply for the Hoyt Fellowship. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
