OUR Solution

DMSF’s Model is Simple

Picture
Picture

​We identify 8th grade students who have exhibit academic ability, strong character, leadership potential and financial need.

Picture

We help those students select quality high schools that can provide them with rigorous academic preparation, and offer the Murphy Scholars tuition assistance.

Picture

​We offer Murphy Scholars a suite of programs, our Programs that Promote Persistence, which are designed to provide our Scholars with both the academic and social/emotional support they need in order to be successful in high school, college and beyond.

Our Model is Unique

The Scholarship we provide is typically a portion of overall tuition; our model is unique in that our partner school approach and additive programming allows us to leverage significant additional funds from those partner schools to supplement the cost of tuition. On average, DMSF annually provides $5,000 in financial aid and another $2,500 in programmatic support to each Murphy Scholar. While the “sticker price” of each Murphy Scholarship can be valued at $30,000 over four years, we know educational access is priceless.

Our Impact Lasts A Lifetime

The programming and financial support we provide is available to our Scholars for all four years of high school, as long as they maintain the required 3.0 GPA. Our programs start even before our Scholars begin their first day of high school and continue through the challenges of high school, the college application process, the rigor of college, and as our alumni pursue rewarding careers.
