Paul Murphy Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Visit Buffalo Niagara Foundation and Murphy Family proudly share the official launch of the Paul Murphy Memorial Scholarship. Paul Murphy was a staunch advocate for tourism and hospitality in Buffalo. Visit Buffalo Niagara Foundation and the Murphy Family look forward to seeing how future recipients will give back to our city the way Paul Murphy did.

Mr. Murphy joined the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center and served as Director of Sales from 1993-1999. He returned to the Center in 2001 as the General Manager, a position he held until his passing on December 27, 2020. Paul was a staunch advocate for tourism and hospitality in Buffalo. One of Mr. Murphy’s last wishes was to establish a scholarship to help a graduating senior pursue a degree in hospitality. The scholarship has been established by the Murphy family in conjunction with Visit Buffalo Niagara and the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
