Being a Daniel Murphy Scholar means a few things. The scholarship is valued at $30,000 over four years for tuition assistance for highly selective high schools and programming support. The programming support helps scholars successfully navigate through the high school experience, the college application process, college and beyond. Daniel Murphy Scholars are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA and participate in their Programs that Promote Persistence, designed to provide scholars with academic and social-emotional support.

Each year, the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund receives nearly 1,000 applications from 8th grade students for approximately 125 available scholarships. We are so proud of our rising 8th grade scholars for this achievement, and we look forward to seeing their future success!
