Every year, the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry awards Sam Taylor Fellowships to full-time faculty members at United Methodist–affiliated colleges and universities in Texas. Funded by the estate of the late Taylor, the competitive research grants support the continuing education and professional development of faculty members by supporting research “advancing the intellectual, social, or religious life of Texas and the nation.” This year, eight Southwestern University faculty members won grants up to $2,000.
