Robert P. Burnett Scholarship

The Robert P. Burnett Scholarship was initiated in 2000 by LtCol Leslie D. Burnett, The Citadel Class of 1959, and his wife Mrs. Kim Burnett. The fund is named in memory of Colonel Burnett’s brother, Marine Sergeant Robert Paul Burnett who died from complications from exposure to Agent Orange in the Republic of Vietnam. First preference, upon recommendation by the Chaplain, will be given to a cadet who is actively involved in religious activities at The Citadel. Second preference will be to a cadet who has chosen the Marine option. The first award was made in 2004.
