The main charitable objects of the Murray Clan Society, a registered charity, are to (1) to further the education of members of the Clan and Septs who show promise, and (2) to provide financial assistance to those of the Clan and the Septs who are in need. The Society recognises the importance of giving assistance in education and vocational training. Young people who are Murrays (or with mothers who were Murrays), who are pursuing particular interests or studies, may be able to take advantage of the Murray Clan Society's Scholarship which will each year award a bursary (educational grant) worth up to £500.00 per student.

A person may only apply for a grant if they are living in Scotland or the United Kingdom (UK).
