John H. Murphy Memorial Scholarship to Participate in
National Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024
Springfield, MA — The John H. Murphy Memorial Scholarship, Inc. is excited to announce its participation in Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity, on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. The scholarship, established to honor the legacy of Springfield's own John H. Murphy, a trailblazer in the construction industry, provides financial support to students pursuing construction-related educational opportunities.
Thanks to generous donors, the JHMMS awarded its first scholarship last year to a Springfield Renaissance High School student now attending Wentworth Institute of Technology. In addition to funding his education, the scholarship connected the recipient with a mentor to guide him through college and provided him an opportunity for an internship with City Enterprise, Inc., helping build a strong foundation for his career in construction management.
“As we look toward Giving Tuesday, we are grateful for the community’s continued support,” said Lucille Murphy, wife of the late John Murphy. “This year, we’re aiming to raise enough funds to offer even more scholarships to students who are passionate about construction and building a brighter future for themselves and their community.”
The scholarship is calling on the community to get involved on National Giving Day. Donations can be made easily and securely through the organization’s website at www.jhmscholarship.org.
