Bobette Bibo Gugliotta Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing

This scholarship was created in 1995 to honor the late Bobette Bibo Gugliotta, author of several books, including Katzimo: Mysterious Mesa; Pigboat 39, about a World War II submarine; and Women of Mexico: The Consecrated and the Commoners, 1519-1900. The scholarship is awarded to students majoring in a creative writing field who have demonstrated creative writing ability and passion. Mrs. Gugliotta married U.S. Navy Ensign Guy F. Gugliotta in 1940. They lived in several cities in the United States and Latin America before retiring to the Peninsula in 1962. Her family and friends remember her as wife, mother, hostess and one who was never bored, never tired, always curious. The scholarship provides up to $1,000 to support students who demonstrate passion and ability for creative writing.
