Susan (Sue) Rita Murray, RN BSN CNN, was a dedicated registered nurse who put in forty-two years of service as an acute dialysis nurse. 

Outside of her career, Sue was fond of the arts, often traveling to her nieces' and nephews' many dance recitals, school theater performances, and concerts. She took up tap dancing as an adult and was an avid baker and crafter, often gifting handmade creations to friends, family, and patients. Sue passed suddenly in December 2024 and did not get a chance to further her artistic passions and creative abilities in her retirement. 

This scholarship aims to honor the life of Sue Murray by supporting students who share her passion for the arts.

Any undergraduate or graduate student who is pursuing dance with at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
