Dorothy and Dick Burgess Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Jackson Community Foundation
The Dorothy and Dick Burgess Scholarship was established to provide deserving young students, who might otherwise be unable to afford it, the opportunity to attend a smaller Michigan college.* "I paid for my own college education and I know the difference it's made in my life. I'd like to help deserving young people in our community do the same." -Dick Burgess.
