CSUF VRC Scholarships: Gerald "Ted" Burgess Memorial Scholarship

Thank you for your interest in this scholarship offered by the CSUF Veterans Resource Center. This scholarship is for currently enrolled CSUF students. 

 
This memorial scholarship was established by Ted’s sister, Judith Wells, and his best friend, Richard Palicz, in memory of Gerald “Ted” Burgess, who was a Vietnam War veteran. Ted went to school at CSUF while serving in the California National Guard. He graduated from CSUF in 1974 with a degree in Business Administration and, soon after, founded his own company in petroleum and mining hard metals. He had eight patents to his name.  This scholarship is offered to support student-veterans who have exhausted or will exhaust their VA educational benefits prior to the fall semester and who are near completion of their educational degree.
