Congratulations to the Murphy Class of 2020! Though this wasn’t the year-end anyone could have imagined, the class endured the transition to e-learning, missed proms, sporting and artistic events and virtual/drive by graduations. This class overcame incredible uncertainty and achieved remarkable accomplishments, including a record number of Ivy League acceptances (9), Evans Scholarship awardees (31), Posse Scholars (6), Questbridge Scholars (1), and Pilchard Scholarships. We are proud of our graduates and wish them continued success as they embark on their college career.

Martin Hunter, Murphy Scholar alum of the Class of 2012, and current Portfolio Associate at Wells Fargo, founded the West Side Coalition as a way to give back to his community and lead by example. We are grateful for your service to the community, Martin!  In hopes of encouraging Scholars to practice self-care, our Scholars participated in a few yoga and stress reductions workshops through a Health & Wellness series in partnership with Integrative Pathways to Healing. We are grateful to DMSF Co-founder Betsy Murphy who led the Scholars in these popular workshops.
 From virtual meetings, college exploration, engagement opportunities, and a weekly Leadership Speaker Series, we remain committed to keeping our Murphy Scholar Caddies connected to one another and focused on their educational aspirations. The caddies have been given the opportunity to attend virtual college exploration and information sessions offering prospective Murphy Scholars and their families an opportunity to learn more about the academic and co-curricular life at Evans Scholarship schools. These hosted sessions for the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois provide insight into the admissions, financial aid and scholarship process. As we transition to Phase 4 of reopening, we continue to monitor the reduced restrictions with golf and caddying, and are delighted that several of our Murphy Scholars have recently been able to get back to work as caddies at some partner clubs. Thanks to Murphy Scholar Sarahi (University of Chicago Lab School, Class of 2021) for sharing her reflections on the Caddie Program.  DMSF is looking for individuals to help Murphy Scholars achieve a positive scholastic journey throughout high school. One immediate way is to be a mentor for a Scholar. With the help of a mentor, Scholars learn life skills and receive the guidance necessary to be successful in high school and beyond. If interested, please complete the volunteer mentor application. Need more information? Join us for a Mentor Virtual Information Session. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the Mentor Program and mentor responsibilities.
