Rich Murray Volunteer Service Scholarship
The
Rich Murray Volunteer Service Scholarship recognizes a St.
Cloud State University student who has demonstrated a commitment
of giving through volunteerism while a student at St. Cloud State
University. This may be service with an established organization
or individual acts of service over a significant period of time.
The scholarship is available to any St. Cloud State University student,
undergraduate or graduate. Only service activities done while a student
at St. Cloud State University will be recognized.
This $500 scholarship is made possible by a generous gift from Richard E. Murray, former director of SCSU Career Services. Mr. Murray started this scholarship because he believes in three basic ideals:
- The value of education
- The value of giving back a little of what has been given to him
- The belief that everyone will need the help of others at some time
Previous recipients of the Rich Murray Volunteer Service Scholarship are not eligible to apply. All applicants will be notified of their status in March. If you have questions, please contact Volunteer Connection at 308-3004 or email volunteer@stcloudstate.edu.
Conway, Dueth & Schmiesing Building Hope Scholarship
The Conway, Deuth & Schmiesing, PLLP Building Hope Scholarship was established in conjunction with Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity (CMHFH) to give a student the opportunity to provide meaningful volunteer services to fulfill needed activities for Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity. The scholarship recipient earns $1,000 by providing 100 hours of service to Central MN Habitat for Humanity (CMHFH).
Conway, Deuth & Schmiesing, PLLP was founded in 1985 by Richard Conway, Roger Deuth and Milan Schmiesing, each sharing a common goal of helping their clients reach their maximum potential. The firm grew based on the highest standards and ethics of the accounting profession. Today, CDS remains committed to these same principles. Recently Conway, Deuth & Schmiesing merged with Michael A. Johnson, Ltd., CPAs in St. Cloud, MN.
Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity partners with organizations, individuals, and selected homeowner families to build safe, simple, affordable housing for families in need in the community.

Every skill that each unique individual brings to Habitat is valued.
