A new scholarship for 2024, the Tina Eniye Murphy Scholarship has been established to support a student studying for an undergraduate degree in Public Health at Canterbury Christ Church University.
The award has been set up in memory of Tina Eniye Murphy who achieved her lifelong ambition of graduating with a BSC (Hons) in Public Health and Health Promotion in 2022, shortly before passing away in 2023. Her daughter Mrs James and her husband, Mr James are hoping that this important scholarship will offer a student at CCCU, the opportunity to pursue a career in Public Health.

She was the founder of Health Action Charity organisation in Medway and Noroware Osula Foundation in Nigeria. She has been a great help to many individuals and families.
