Saigh Foundation Grant

The Saigh Foundation Awards Grant to Cardinal Ritter College Prep

The Saigh Foundation recently awarded a $7,500 grant to Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School for scholarship support. This grant provides assistance for students who may not otherwise be able to afford a college-prep education.

The Saigh Foundation mission is to enhance the quality of life in the St. Louis metropolitan region through support for charitable projects and initiatives which primarily benefit children and youth through education and health care. These objectives will continue to support the community interests shown by Fred M. Saigh during his lifetime.

“We are delighted to partner with Cardinal Ritter Prep,” said JoAnn Hejna, Executive Director and co-trustee of The Saigh Foundation.

Through a generous scholarship challenge grant from Emerson, the grant will be fully matched, providing $15,000 for scholarship assistance to Cardinal Ritter College Prep.

“The St. Louis area is blessed to have organizations like The Saigh Foundation that care so much about helping the children in our community,” said Cardinal Ritter College Prep President Leon Henderson. “Because of this gift, several of our young adults can achieve a brighter future. We are deeply grateful.”


Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School has educated students from the entire St. Louis region for more than 25 years and opened a new, state-of-the-art school in Grand Center in 2003. For the past several years, all Cardinal Ritter Prep seniors graduated and were accepted to college. Cardinal Ritter Prep is a coeducational high school accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For more information, call (314) 446-5500 or visit www.cardinalritterprep.org.
