Jesus M. Figueroa Scholarship Program
The Figueroa Scholarship Program was created by Dr. Leobardo Guerrero in memoriam of Maestro Jesus M. Figueroa.
Maestro Figueroa was a full time piano professor at UNAM (Music Faculty) in Mexico City, and was known for the unconditional support and encouragement he gave to his students, including Dr. Guerrero. We wish to honor his legacy and the impact he had on the lives of his students by creating this scholarship program in his name.
