Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund

The mission of the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund is to give high school scholarship assistance and educational support to Chicago students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. DMSF seeks to make a life-altering difference in the lives of its Scholars by providing them with the best opportunity to succeed in high school and beyond. We serve students from 37 zip codes located within the city of Chicago. Our Scholars all possess grit, determination, leadership potential, a strong academic record, and financial need. Murphy Scholars enroll in high-quality college preparatory high schools here at home in Chicago as well as residential programs and boarding schools across the country. Many of our Scholars are first-generation college students, and on average, come from families of 5 who average $33,000 annually. DMSF provides the opportunity for Murphy Scholars to achieve their potential and foster future success.
