Jesse Cox passed away on Monday, May 12 at his home in Carmel, Indiana. Jesse and his late wife, Beulah, have committed a total of $85 million or more to IU for scholarships for students. This represents the largest gift ever received by IU from individuals and also the largest individual gift for scholarships.
The entire Indiana University community is deeply saddened by the passing of Jesse Cox. His support, service and generosity have had a profound impact on IU and higher education in Indiana. His spirit will live on through future generations of students who follow the path he has set.
