Murphy Foundation Scholarship for El Dorado High School Graduates

This competitive scholarship program is designed for graduating seniors from El Dorado High School who are admitted to Hendrix College and qualify for the El Dorado Promise. A select number of top candidates receive a comprehensive award package that covers full tuition, mandatory fees, standard double-occupancy housing, and an unlimited meal plan. This top-tier funding operates as a last-dollar award, applied after other state, federal, and promise funds are processed, and it replaces any previously awarded merit aid from the college. Students who participate in the selection process but are not chosen for the full-ride award still receive a smaller annual scholarship that is added directly on top of their existing merit-based institutional aid.
