16 Jimmy and Harriett Burson were tremendous supporters of the Women’s Basketball team at the University of North Georgia, both on and off the court. They attended every possible basketball game for more than 20 years and hosted team events at their home. Invested in the lives of these young female basketball players, the Bursons supported their ambitions while at North Georgia, post graduation and in their professional careers. After their passing, the Jimmy & Harriet Burson Women’s Basketball Scholarship was created to recognize their selfless support, and assist Women’s Basketball players with unmet financial assistance for their cost of attending UNG. “The impact of my parents’ scholarship is immeasurable as it will not only help a current student-athlete financially, but will also help us continue to compete for championships by recruiting high caliber players. The recipient will represent all of the things my parents loved about our student-athletes and teams: strong character, competitive spirit, integrity, and excellence.” - Buffie Burson UNG Head Women’s Basketball Coach SCHOLARSHIP SPOTLIGHT Jimmy & Harriet Burson Women’s Basketball Scholarship
