The GACCS 2019 Annual Burgess Scholarship is available to high school seniors or college students enrolled at the freshman/sophomore level based on academic achievement, financial need, and community service involvement. The Leroy Burgess Scholarship Fund is being developed as a means of encouragement to several graduating seniors and first-year undergrad students that would benefit from financial assistance $1000 or less.
