The BLT Board of Directors decided that the scholarships are an appropriate memorial to Burkett, a person who loved young people and the theater. Although funding for the scholarships will come in part from the Burkett bequest, members of the community may donate as well. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the scholarship fund may send a check to Baytown Little Theater and mark it MLB Scholarship. The address is PO Box 2022, Baytown, TX 77522.

For more information, call the theater at (281)424-7617 and leave a message, which will be given to the Scholarship Committee.
