As part of the annual Thomas Burrage Award, a scholarship stipend of $2,000 is presented to a student at the University of New Mexico (UNM). The 2024 recipient of the scholarship is Caitlin Beery, who is in the Master of Accounting program at UNM. Burrage was known for giving his support and guidance to young people in the profession, and UNM was his alma mater.

The late Thomas Burrage was highly respected for his expertise in litigation, forensic accounting, business valuation, and taxation, but he is remembered most as a kind and generous man who gave back to the profession. Earlier this year, the 2024 Burrage Award for compassion, collegiality, and character was bestowed posthumously to Rick Adamy, the founder of Adamy Valuation. The Expert Resource Connection, co-founded by Burrage, which is a group of business valuation and forensic accounting professionals who share resources and collaborate on engagements, gave the award.
