In celebration of Jean Mooney Jellison's 100th birthday, her daughter Mary Jellison made a significant gift to MCAD’s youth programming that will continue Jean’s impact on countless others in the community. The newly established Jean M. Jellison Youth Scholarship Fund will pay it forward to students who are in need of financial assistance to pursue their passion.

Jean’s heartfelt story began in 1939 at the age of 14. “I couldn’t believe I won!”, she said when she was awarded a merit scholarship to Minneapolis School of Art. It forever changed her life.
