The Nerinx Fund

Established in honor of the Nerinx Hall Classes of 2020 and 2021, whose planned senior year traditions, events, and experiences were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was created so that no student will miss out on the extras of a Nerinx Hall experience because of family financial circumstances. This fund will provide dance tickets, spirit wear, extra uniforms, service & field trips, junior rings, supplementary food assistance etc for students with demonstrated financial need. 

A talented dancer, performer, and SLUH Hockey Cheerleader Clare was a member of the Class of 2016. Her last months on earth were filled with joy as she performed in the Nerinx show Legally Blonde even while driving back and forth to Memphis for cancer treatments at St. Jude. Clare's family established this scholarship in her name following her death in December 2012.

This fund is a family-established tribute to Eileen, a Nerinx Hall Woman of Excellence honoree and alumnae parent. 

Les and Pat O'Neill Hohl '54 established this gift to provide one worthy student per four year cycle with a significant gift to make Nerinx Hall a financial possibility for those with demonstrated financial need. 

The Ostapowicz family established this scholarship fund in the memory of their daughter Lesley, who was a member of the Nerinx Hall Class of 2007.  This scholarship offers help to families who experience financial difficulties while their daughter attends Nerinx Hall.

The Nerinx Hall Class of 1995 established this award for Mary Ann, a beloved classmate who tragically died while on a service trip in Haiti. Her legacy is a legacy of loving service and is awarded to students who need financial assistance to participate in service-learning opportunities

This scholarship honors former Nerinx Hall President Sr. Barbara Roche '64, whose 27-year tenure as the school’s President was marked by her dedication to making a Nerinx Hall education affordable for as many young women as possible.  

Mary Ann (Ligertwood) Fehlig, Class of 1965, was an exceptional woman.  She loved her years at Nerinx Hall and believed them to be transformative. Her passing in July of 2020 has inspired several to remember her by establishing a scholarship that honors her – and the rest of the Class of 1965 – at a time of great need for her beloved school.

Established in 2021 by Shirley Sahrmann, PT, PhD, FAPTA.
