Josefina Gutiérrez Ferrán Scholarship
Scholarship Purpose: Josefina Gutiérrez Ferrán was an adult learner in the Illinois State University Art Department for 16 years. Born in Santa Clara, Cuba, Josefina had a passion for life, education, music, and painting. Her artwork reproduced vivid memories of her homeland. Fleeing communism and in search of a better life, and to be closer to her children who preceded her in leaving Cuba, Josefina eventually settled in Central Illinois. She passed away in 2000. The Josefina Gutiérrez Ferrán Scholarship for Latino Art Students was established in 2001 by her daughter, Dr. Ana Maria F. Parent, a former faculty member at Illinois State University.
