The Foundation for Evangelism sponsors scholarships for those pursuing doctoral studies in evangelism. Currently these programs are led by professors supported by The Foundation for Evangelism and administered through a ThD program at Duke Divinity School and a PhD program at Asbury Theological Seminary. The overall goal in establishing these scholarships is to equip scholars in the Wesleyan tradition who express an interest in being considered for seminary teaching positions in evangelism. These students will help fulfill the Foundation’s vision to raise up generations of leaders who have a passion for evangelism by not only being a leader but also training others to lead.

The Foundation for Evangelism currently funds the Harry Denman Fellowships which are given to scholars in the United Methodist tradition who are pursuing doctoral studies in evangelism or related disciplines.  The Fellowships are to encourage and equip people who might one day teach evangelism in United Methodist schools of theology or institutions of higher education.

Candidates are selected for their commitment to Christ and the church as well as for their academic excellence.  A Foundation for Theological Education (AFTE) administers these fellowships through their John Wesley Fellowship Program.   

The Timothy Scholars Program is an initiative to support doctoral training of future seminary professors focusing on youth and young adult ministries in The United Methodist Church.  The Timothy Scholars program derives its name from I Timothy 4:12, "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example for the believers."

The Foundation is piloting the scholarship program at Princeton Theological Seminary, which is also home to the Princeton Theological Seminary Institute for Youth Ministry.  Rev. Kenda Creasy Dean, PhD, a United Methodist clergy and Associate Professor of Youth, Church and Culture at Princeton, serves in the capacity of program mentor.  The pilot program will provide five years of funding for six PhD students starting with the 2006 academic year.
