RICHARD MURRAY ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
Christine Le: "I cannot thank the Richard Murray Endowed Scholarship enough for the financial support awarded to me, as well as the vast number of opportunities this opens up for my bright future. As an upcoming junior who has borne the brunt of outstanding tuition fees, housing bills, and grocery costs, I am overjoyed to know that there is support for students like me too succeed in a climate of financial precarity. This scholarship gives me the confidence and enthusiasm necessary to focus on excelling in the field of political science—whether that be through pursuing research, finding the time to build personal relationships with professors, or simply throwing my weight into coursework."
