The Miss Kentucky Competition

An Official State Preliminary to the Miss America Competition

The Miss Kentucky Scholarship Organization is a non-profit foundation devoted to empowering the women of Kentucky to achieve their personal and professional goals that will benefit them, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and our country for the rest of their lives.

Today, those achievements, education advancement and public service continue to be the primary objectives for both The Miss America and Miss Kentucky Organizations. While being one of the nation's leading achievement programs for young women, Miss America is also the largest scholarship organization for women in the world.

In 2016 alone, The Miss America Organization, combined with its state and local organizations, awarded more than $45 Million in cash and in-kind scholarships.
