The Lina H. McCord Internship program is a part of The United Methodist Church Black College Fund.

The 11 HBCU are supported primarily through the Black College Fund of The United Methodist Church.
The students who itinerant share the importance of the apportionment givings to the Black College Fund as it strives to help mold and shape lives as well as develop character of students who are being prepared to be viable contributors to their various cities, states and throughout this world. itineranting students receive travel, lodging and a scholarship for their service as well as the opportunity to develop their leadership skills.
