Two of the main charitable objects of the Murray Clan Society are (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 recognised by the Society who are in need. The Society's scholarship will each year award a bursary (educational grant) to students who are Murrays, who are pursuing particular interests or studies in Scotland and the UK. The septs include Balneaves, Dinsmore, Dunbar, Dunsmore, Fleming, Moray, Murrie, Neaves, Piper, Pyper, Rattray, Smail, Smale, Small, Smeal, and Spalding, and variations of these.
