El Paso Holy Royal Arch Chapter No. 90 proudly recognizes Elisa Murguia, an exceptional young scholar and community‑minded leader, for receiving two major tuition assistance awards from prominent bodies within Prince Hall Royal Arch Masonry.
Elisa was awarded:
Together, these awards total $4,250, funds that will directly support Elisa’s pursuit of higher education and her long‑term goal of becoming a medical professional.
Academic Excellence
Elisa graduated Salutatorian from Pebble Hills High School in Spring 2026, demonstrating the discipline, character, and academic strength that both awarding bodies seek to uplift. She is now a Freshman at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where she has begun her journey toward a career in medicine.
Her aspiration is to become an Emergency Room Doctor, driven by a desire to help individuals who are severely injured or experiencing medical emergencies. This calling reflects both compassion and courage—qualities deeply aligned with the values of Royal Arch Masonry.
Family & Inspiration
Elisa is the daughter of Enrique and Blanca Murguia. Her father, Enrique Murguia, is a Nurse Practitioner, and Elisa hopes to follow in his footsteps by entering the medical field. His example of service and care has shaped her ambition to serve her community through emergency medicine.
Masonic Support & Community Commitment
Her student aid packet was formally submitted by El Paso Holy Royal Arch Chapter No. 90, a subordinate chapter under the Most Excellent Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Texas.
