Over the years, the number of members grew from six to 25. Several past recipients have joined the Club. The amount and number of awards have grown steadily, too, from the original $50 to four awards ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 to graduates with the highest averages.

The Linese Miller Leadership and Helen Mae Henderson Teaching awards are named for the group’s first presidents and undergraduate students are eligible to apply for $250 book awards once each year during their college careers. 

Today the Club awards $7,750 each year and administers nearly $9,000 in awards from individuals and community groups. With the Club’s help, many residents have become educators, doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and other professionals. The Club also supports scholarly pursuits, enrichment activities and offers seminars to families. Honor Roll and Principal’s List achievers receive congratulatory letters from the Club and it presents an award to the Lawnside School eighth grade graduate excelling in English.

After the death of Alice Still, the last active charter member for 48 years, the Club used the memorial donations to rename the college emergency fund to the Alice Still Fund for emergency purposes. The 1995 bequest from the estate of Elizabeth Jones endowed a $500 award for academic excellence for graduating seniors with an average of 93 or more. 

The Club’s presidents include Helen Mae Henderson, Linese Miller, Loretta Chappelle, Helen Davis,  Edith Andrews, Mary C. Still, Gladys Jones, Louise M. Wright, Ardelia Moore, Alice Still, Dolores B. Johnson,  Barbara Turner, Rose Bradley, Helen Jay,  Ellen Benson, Alice Smith, Elva Whittington, Elva Mitchell, Ardelia Gibson, Gloria Goodman and  Sharon Whitaker. More than 60 Lawnsiders have been Club members.

The Lawnside Scholarship Club has been federally tax-exempt status since 1995.
