2010 annual report
Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund
from DMSF’s
Dear Friends of DMSF,
president
In these difficult economic times, there are thousands of young
men and women in the City of Chicago who could benefit from the
opportunity to attend high school in an environment that challenges
them academically and prepares them for the rigors of college.
I am very pleased to report that DMSF is helping 330 Scholars flourish in just
those surroundings. Our Scholars are attending 70 different high schools – 40
day schools here in the Chicago area, and 30 boarding schools located from
coast to coast. These outstanding young men and women are leaders in their
schools, both inside and outside the classroom. They are serving on their schools’
student councils, as officers of their schools’ clubs and organizations, and as
captains of their schools’ athletic teams. They are succeeding academically,
and they are learning what it means to give back to their communities.
In the pages that follow we are pleased to highlight a few of our amazing
Scholars: Jorge, a member of our freshman class who is off to a great start
at St. Paul’s; Fernando, a junior who attends St. Laurence High School, and
Brandi and Brittany, who attend Mother McAuley High School. Brandi and
Brittany happen to be one of three sets of twins in our senior class.
It would not be possible for DMSF to assist these students without the dedication
and hard work of our remarkable Board, our hundreds upon hundreds of
volunteers or our committed staff. Nor would our work be possible without the
support of our donors. Collectively we are providing Murphy Scholars with a road
toward success – a path to overcome substantial economic and environmental
challenges. We thank all of you for joining us on this rewarding journey.
Bob Cooney
DMSF President
from DMSF’s
Dear Friends,
executive director
Not-for-profits have come under increased scrutiny to show statistical proof of
their successes. The Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund has ample evidence to
Andy letter
display its impact:
• For the third year in a row, 100% of our graduating seniors continued on
with their education past high school. Our graduates not only gained
admission to some of the nation’s top colleges and universities, they were
awarded substantial financial aid to help them pay for their education.
On average, each Murphy Scholar received more than $26,000 per year in
financial aid to pay for college.
• The DMSF Class of 2013 – the first group of DMSF Scholars to participate in
a second week of bridge programming prior to beginning high school – had
a collective G.P.A. of 3.15 in their core classes during their freshman year of
high school. More than a third of our Scholars had G.P.A.s of 3.5 or better.
• We received more than 1,100 applications from 8th grade
students – continuing proof of the need for DMSF.
But despite our proven success, we are not resting on our laurels. DMSF’s Board is
crafting a strategic plan to guide DMSF over the next five years. We recognize the
need to do more to prepare our Scholars for high school, to ensure their success while
in high school, and to increase the rate by which they are graduating from college.
None of our successes would be possible without the effort and commitment of
our Board, without the countless volunteer hours devoted to helping us recruit
and select applicants, or without the remarkable generosity of our donors. We
look forward to counting on all of you as we seek to do more to ensure that Daniel
Murphy Scholars attend great high schools, matriculate to
great colleges, and enter the work force as college graduates
ready and willing to make a difference in the world.
Andrew B. David
DMSF Executive Director
vision
We believe education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and to developing
leaders and role models from diverse backgrounds. The Daniel Murphy Scholarship
Fund seeks to be at the forefront of this social change by providing access to
college preparatory high schools to promising young women and men.
mission
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 college.

freshman profile
For virtually all students, entering high school requires an adjustment. For DMSF Scholars
who come from Jorge
some of the area’s most economically-distressed neighborhoods, the
beginning of their high school career presents an even bigger challenge. DMSF Scholars
not only need to adapt to a challenging academic curriculum, they also must learn to
navigate in an entirely new community.
Recognizing the difficulties of this transition, DMSF prepares its Scholars for the high
school experience through the Bridge to Excellence Program. Each Scholar attends this
two week program during the summer after 8th grade. The summer program includes a
week-long intensive language skills course at which dedicated teachers and professional
speech pathologists work with each of the students in one-on-one and group settings
to develop the superior communication skills which are expected of students in their
college preparatory schools. During the second week of the program, called the “Ideal
Student Workshop,” Scholars focus on study skills, time management, note-taking, and
critical reading, thinking, and writing. Thanks to DMSF’s Bridge to Excellence Program, Jorge, a freshman at St. Paul’s School, a
boarding school located in Concord, New Hampshire, is thriving in his new community.
Jorge attends classes with students from all over the world and enjoys daily academic
challenges.
I have been doing great at school. I feel happy and proud of the education I
am receiving and all the people I have met, Jorge explains. St. Paul’s School is
challenging me by pushing me to become a better athlete, a better student, and
a better person. Every day is a new adventure in learning. DMSF gave me the
chance to receive this amazing education, which is helping me to become the
best as I can be, preparing me to attend a great university, and allowing me to
be successful in the future.
Thanks to DMSF’s Bridge to Excellence program, we know Jorge has the tools he
needs for continued success!
sophomore successes
The members of the DMSF Class of 2013, who entered their
sophomore year of high school this past fall, have displayed the
academic excellence that is the hallmark of DMSF’s Scholars. DMSF
expects each of its Scholars to maintain a grade point average of
at least 3.0 in their core courses – history, math, foreign language,
English and science.
Meeting the challenges of their rigorous academic environments,
the DMSF class of 2013 achieved an aggregate G.P.A. of 3.15 during
the first year of high school. One third of the members of the class had G.P.A.’s of 3.5 or
higher.
DMSF closely tracks its Scholars academic performance, standing ready to provide
additional help to any student who seeks it, or who appears to be struggling with a class. One-on-one tutoring is available to any Scholar to make sure that DMSF Scholars stay on
track as they meet the challenges of the college-preparatory high school environment.
Many DMSF Scholars come from single-parent households, and for many they are the
first in their family who plans to attend college. To assist our Scholars in dealing with a
myriad of social and academic challenges, we give them the opportunity to be matched
with an adult mentor who can provide guidance, support and friendship. Every mentor
is a college graduate who receives specialized training before being matched with a
Scholar. Mentors provide an immeasurable resource for DMSF Scholars.
DMSF is committed to ensuring our Scholars succeed both in and out of the classroom. DMSF is proud to report that the members of the Class of 2013 are fully engaged. For
example:
• Jarrett, who attends DeLaSalle Institute, is a starter on the
sophomore basketball team, while maintaining a 3.75 G.P.A.
• Emmanuel, who attends Marist, is a straight A student
who stars on the school’s Math Team.
• Angelica, who goes to St. Benedict’s, and Christina, who
attends Fenwick, are both on Student Council.
• David, a student at St. Francis de Sales, has a lead role in his school’s
spring play, is an officer of the Art Club, and works on the yearbook.
DMSF succeeds when our Scholars succeed.
summer opportunities
For DMSF Scholars, education does not stop when the summer starts. DMSF
expects each of its Scholars to spend the summer productively, whether
participating in an academic program, working, or engaging in other enriching
activities.
As part of its Summer Opportunities Program, each February DMSF hosts
the Summer Opportunities Fair at which it Scholars are introduced to a wide
variety of summer employment possibilities and enrichment programs. Over
35 corporate and not-for-profit partners participate in the fair, representing
volunteer and paid work positions, internships, educational programs and travel
and cultural exchange programs.
Approximately 20% of DMSF Scholars participate in DMSF’s Summer Caddie
Program. For eight weeks Scholars live on suburban college campuses and caddie
at nearby country clubs. As a result of participating in the DMSF Caddie Program,
more than 135 DMSF Scholars have been awarded the Evans Scholarship, a fouryear, full-tuition college scholarship.
Fernando, a junior, ranks 7th in his class at St. Laurence High School. He balances
academic interests with extra circular activities, including Student
Council, the National Honor Society, serving as a peer mediator, and
participating on his school’s volleyball and bowling teams.
During the summer after his sophomore year in high school
Fernando chose to broaden his horizons through the DMSF Summer
Opportunities Program by traveling to Costa Rica. Fernando lived
with a host family and spent most of his time helping build animal
shelters.
It was a good experience for me to be away from home in a new
place, says Fernando. By seeing how hard my host family worked
just to survive, I gained a lot of perspective, and learned to appreciate
what I have. DMSF has given me so much and opened so many doors.
DMSF is more than a scholarship, it is a family.
college counseling
It is DMSF’s expectation that all of its Scholars will attend college. DMSF’s College
Counseling Program provides Scholars with the tools they need to prepare for the
college application process.
DMSF has implemented a four-year college counseling curriculum for all of its
Scholars. Before they begin high school DMSF Scholars are given advice about the
courses they need to take in order to qualify for admission into selective colleges,
as well as the other factors that colleges consider during their admission process.
The DMSF curriculum includes visits to local college campuses for freshmen
and sophomores. The strength of the college counseling curriculum intensifies
during our Scholars’ junior year, and during the summer before senior year DMSF
provides ACT/SAT test preparation classes as well as college application and essay
writing workshops.
Thanks to DMSF’s College Counseling Program, Brittany and her twin sister
Brandi, seniors at Mother McAuley High School, are well-prepared to follow their
dreams of entering the medical field. Both Brittney and Brandi have worked hard
to succeed in high school; always keeping their grades above 3.3 GPA, traveling
for athletic competitions, and leading multiple community service projects. They
are group leaders in their cheerleading and dance troupe, as well as members
of the National Honor Society. Given their achievements in high school, coupled
with their optimistic attitude, DMSF knows that Brittany and Brandi will be
assets on any college campus.
We have faced obstacles as a family, but DMSF has given us the tools we
need to face life’s challenges, explains Brittney. Having this scholarship
gives me opportunities in life that I never thought I would have adds Brandi.
DMSF has given me the chance to dream and achieve my dreams.
Using the lessons they learned through DMSF’s College Counseling Program,
Brandi and Brittney have applied to a number of colleges, including Colgate,
Marquette, University of Illinois, and Syracuse University. They are anxiously
waiting to hear from the colleges to which they have applied. They plan on
attending school together and will select a school that will help them pursue their
life goals.
