For over 30 years, The Miss Pierce County Scholarship Program has helped provide meaningful scholarships to hundreds of college bound women who have completed our rigorous training program. Our mission is to: help young women build confidence, cultivate skills, promote healthy living, showcase strengths, serve the community and earn scholarships toward scholastic achievement. The most important go
al of our organization is to develop young leaders and to give them the skills and the financial ability to move toward completing their educational goals. Our program has been the catalyst for college graduates to enter successful careers in fields such as education, medicine, business, engineering and non-profit service. In addition our teen program provides an opportunity to teach young women 13-17 the value of saving for college and the capital to begin the process. The Miss Pierce County & Miss Pierce County Teen Program starts in October and culminates with our pageant program on February 22, 2014. The teen participants meet several times between October and February. Each meeting includes interview practice, life skills workshops, mentoring training and or activity, talent development, current events discussion, poise, and posture during the duration of the program. The Miss Pierce County Scholarship Program is a 501(C)3 organization run by volunteers from our community . The process of selecting Miss America’s Outstanding Teen begins at the local level. In the greater Tacoma area the Miss Pierce County Scholarship Program is the local pageant. Once selected, Miss Pierce County’s Outstanding Teen will compete at the Miss Washington’s Outstanding Teen Pageant. We would like to welcome and invite all young ladies who are in between the ages of 13 and 17, and who are interested in earning scholarship money toward their education, making a difference in today’s society to learn more about our program.
