In 1969, the SCL received its non-profit status and established the SCL Scholarship Board of Trustees to raise money for a yearly $200 scholarship to be awarded to a student of Classics. The original trustees were Susan Schearer, VA; Dennis Bartlow, IN; M. D. LaFountain NJ; Loeta Smith, CA; and Rodney Williams, KY. The first SCL Scholarship was awarded to Mary Beth Hannah of Kentucky in 1971. 

HAL RATHER AWARD
