Bobette Bibo Gugliotta Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing is open for submissions from understudies studying the creative writing field and showing creative writing capacity. This grant was made in 1995 to respect the late Bobette Bibo Gugliotta, writer of a few books, including Katzimo: Mysterious Mesa; Pigboat 39, about a World War II submarine; and Women of Mexico: The Consecrated and the Commoners, 1519-1900. In 1930, when she was 11 years of age, Mrs. Gugliotta composed a tale about a mouse who later became Mickey! Mrs. Gugliotta wedded U.S. Naval force Ensign Guy F. Gugliotta in 1940.
