Eugene C. Figg, Jr. Civil Engineering Scholarship Grant

The Eugene C. Figg, Jr. Civil Engineering Scholarship, established by Figg Engineering Group in 2002, honors the legacy of Gene Figg, who was renowned for his artistic bridge designs. This scholarship aims to support undergraduate civil engineering students with a passion for bridge design and construction, facilitating their education in an ABET-accredited program. Eligible candidates must be U.S. citizens and Student Members of the American Society of Civil Engineers in good standing.

American Society of Civil Engineers
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 160,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest national civil engineering society.
ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment. The Society advances civil engineering technical specialties through nine dynamic institutes and leads with its many professional- and public-focused programs.
Through the generosity of the employees of Figg Engineering Group, a scholarship fund was established in 2002 as a memorial to Eugene C. Figg, Jr., F.ASCE, winner of the ASCE 2002 OPAL Award for Design. Gene Figg dedicated his career, his company, and his life to creating “bridges as art.” The Eugene C. Figg, Jr. Civil Engineering Scholarship may be presented annually to one undergraduate civil engineering student who will use the scholarship for their undergraduate tuition expenses and fees. The purpose of the scholarship is to further the education of a worthy student interested in bridge design and construction.
