The Miss Sacramento County Scholarship Program is a non-profit corporation affiliated with the Miss America Program and our purpose is to instill in the young women of our county the principle of hard work, growth and persistence that merit one’s success in life. The committee consist of volunteers throughout the Sacramento area and no one on the committee is paid for the time or services provided
to the Miss Sacramento County Program. The Miss America Organization is the largest scholarship foundation in the world for young women. More than 49 million dollars is awarded annually to more than 70,000 young women; who participate in this program each year. Each Contestant is required to adopt a platform, an ideal that is important to her in her community and that she is willing to give community service to. We are also partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network and we help to raise money that directly benefits the children in the hospital at U.C. The Miss America Program has raised over $8,600,000.00 for the Children’s Miracle Network to date. The purpose of our organization is as follows:
1. To provide scholarships for young women in the community and to instill in them an appreciation for the importance of pursuing higher education;
