Matthew Murphy Memorial Scholarship
The Murphy family established the Matthew Murphy Memorial Scholarship to honor the life and legacy of their son Matthew, who passed suddenly on May 27, 2021.
Matthew graduated from Glenelg High School in 2020 and was enrolled at UMBC majoring in Chemical Engineering. Matthew was an Eagle Scout and scholar athlete. He loved playing football and baseball or bantering on-line with his friends. He attended Saint Michael’s Catholic Church in Poplar Springs where he had been an altar server. Due to his dependability and work ethic, he was well-known to neighbors for his willingness to help. He worked weekends as a stocker at Food Lion. Kind, considerate of others, and family-oriented, he was often seen on walks with his parents or helping in the yard. His older brother was his best friend and role model.
The Matthew Murphy Memorial Scholarship will support aspiring engineers participating in the Project Lead the Way Academy at Glenelg High School. This scholarship embodies Matthew’s values, commitment to helping others, and love of engineering.
