Suffolk County Community College Partnership

Matched with a $6,275.00 gift by Suffolk Credit Union, a strong, growing and not-for-profit credit union, the LT Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship supports promising students at Suffolk County Community College who are pursuing their American Dream through excellence in higher education. A national hero and US Navy SEAL, LT Michael P. Murphy was posthumously awarded this nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor, gallantly giving his life for his country and for the cause of freedom. By his selfless leadership, courageous actions, and extraordinary devotion to duty, LT Murphy reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Navy. The LT Michael P. Murphy Scholarship Foundation and the Suffolk Credit Union are honored to provide a $12,550.00 scholarship annually to a promising student studying at New York’s largest and most comprehensive community college. This scholarship recognizes and celebrates LT Murphy’s legacy of giving and favorite saying – “Education will set you free.”

Facilitated by Suffolk Credit Union, a strong, growing and not-for-profit credit union, the Michael E. Reilly Memorial Scholarship supports promising students at Suffolk County Community College who are pursuing their higher education dreams. A veteran member of the Board of Directors and Treasurer of Suffolk Credit Union, Edward Reilly served as Chief of the Patchogue Fire Department who together with his family and firehouse, lost his son Michael, an AE3 and EMT in the U.S. Coast Guard, a first responder and member of the Department’s Ambulance Company. While home on leave, Michael tragically lost his life in a vehicle accident as his ambulance raced to assist a firefighter in December, 1980. We celebrate Michael’s memory through assisting a promising student who is a family member of a first responder or a firefighter.
