The John C. and Jennie J. Figg
Scholarship was established in 1982 by John C. and Jennie J. Figg of
Terre Haute. Mr. Figg, a
realtor, built his John C. Figg Agency into one of the leading real
estate firms in Indiana. Mr.
and Mrs. Figg had a great interest in promoting the education of young
people, and they created this scholarship fund to provide financial
assistance to worthy students in the ISU College of Business.
Mrs. Figg died in August 1995 and Mr. Figg died in April 1999.
