Every year, the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry awards faculty members at United Methodist–affiliated universities in Texas with research grants made possible through the Sam Taylor Fellowship Fund. The fund came to fruition after the late Sam Taylor created a will that set aside funds specifically for furthering the education of faculty members at United Methodist–affiliated colleges and schools in Texas. The grants allow faculty to pursue graduate study or postgraduate research.
