The La Mesa Woman’s Club is actively engaged in current issues and initiatives that impact our region. From advocacy efforts to hands-on service, our members work together to support causes that strengthen our community.
Whether it’s raising awareness, organizing outreach, or participating in local efforts, we believe meaningful change happens when people come together.
In addition to hands-on service, the La Mesa Woman’s Club provides financial support and organized giving to a wide range of local organizations. Through fundraising efforts and member contributions, we are proud to help sustain programs that serve our community.
We’re always looking for meaningful ways to give back. If there’s a local organization or cause you’re passionate about, we’d love to hear from you.
The La Mesa Woman’s Club proudly awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors in the Grossmont Union High School District. Established in 1971, the Marjorie Howard-Hartman Scholarship supports students who demonstrate academic achievement, community service, and a commitment to their future goals. We are happy to contribute to the future success of our youth in any way we can.
Each year, five $5,000 scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors pursuing a four-year college education. Applicants are evaluated based on:
Community service
School Extra-Curricular Activities
Academic Achievement
Quality of Essay
Future Goals
The scholarship is named in honor of the late Mrs. Marjoree Howard-Hartman (Margie). She was a 62 year member of La Mesa Woman’s Club (LMWC) and was Education Chairman for 34 years. She started the scholarship program in 1975. Margie was a lifelong educator in San Diego schools. She strongly believed students who complete higher education have a greater chance of success in life. We are proud to have awarded more than $142,000 to high school seniors attending schools within the Grossmont Union High School District.
Thank you to all students who applied. Information for the next scholarship cycle will be available soon.
