Lillian Gutierrez Scholarship

In 1987, then-Congressman David Skaggs created an endowment in honor of Lillian Gutierrez with the purpose of supporting students in the teacher education program. Gutierrez, a native Coloradan, is recognized as one of the leading Hispanic educators in the State of Colorado. Her life and career exemplify courage, discipline, and self-improvement. Eligible students have a desire to work with people of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. Preference will be given to students demonstrating financial need.
