The United Methodist Church’s General Board of Higher Education and Ministry approved a one-time $4 million distribution to support 11 United Methodist-related Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The funding will be divided equally among the institutions amid financial challenges and growing political pressures. The investment reinforces the church’s commitment to educational access, racial equity, leadership development and strengthening partnerships with HBCUs to sustain their missions and transform lives.

The General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) has awarded $697,900 in grants to support 14 United Methodist-related higher education projects across Africa, Europe, and the Philippines. Funded through the inaugural Regional Conference Higher Education Fund (RCHEF), the grants will help institutions expand educational access, improve facilities, upgrade technology, strengthen faculty development, and support long-term sustainability. Projects include new nursing classrooms in Zimbabwe, digital learning centers in East Africa, expanded social work education in Germany, campus improvements in Mozambique and Angola, and renewable energy initiatives in the Philippines. The investments aim to strengthen institutions, develop future leaders, and expand access to quality, locally relevant education around the world.
