Donor Profile: Jean M. Jellison

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.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
