The American Junior Miss Scholarship Program strives to provide every eligible young woman the
opportunity to further her education and prepare for a successful future. Those who participate in Junior
Miss develop interview skills, self-confidence, and other life skills that lead to future success.
Because the foundation of the Cloud County Junior Miss Program is to provide scholarship support for
local participants, we ask your consideration of a cash or prize donation to encourage its success. All
contributors will be listed in the evening’s printed program and in newspaper advertising following the event.
Our goal of the committee is to give out over $3,000 in scholarships. If you would like to help us reach our
goal please make checks payable to:

In The Beginning
In 1958, the Junior Chamber of Commerce held the first national Junior Miss program in Mobile, Alabama, with representatives
from 18 states. Phyllis A. Whitenack of West Virginia became America’s Junior Miss and received $5,000 in cash scholarships.
Fifty Years
In 2007, America’s Junior Miss celebrated its 50th anniversary in Mobile with representatives from all fifty states. Nora Ali of
Minnesota became the 50th America’s Junior Miss and received more than $50,000 in cash scholarships.
Famous Faces
AJM is proud to have helped many young woman receive an education and become successful in their chosen careers. Diane
Sawyer, Debroah Norville, Kim Basinger, and Debra Messing are just a few of our well known Junior Misses, but many others
have achieved success in various professions such as business, law, journalism, medicine and religion.
AJM vs. Pageant
AJM is a scholarship program that promotes education and excellence in all areas of life. Unlike pageants, AJM encourages
young women to be confident in who they are and to strive to reach their goals and become successful leaders in our
communities. Instead of a crown and sash, AJMs receive a medallion to symbolize their achievements within the classroom and
extracurricular activities.
Evaluation Process
Contestants are evaluated in five categories: Interview 25%, Talent 25%, Scholastics 20%, Self-Expression 15%, Fitness 15%
Be Your Best Self
America’s Junior Miss promotes the Be Your Best Self program, which encourages self esteem and healthy lifestyles. Junior
Misses share the BYBS message with young people all over the country to promote the seven elements of the program: getting
a good education, community service, proper nutrition, staying fit, living by moral principles, setting goals, and striving to reach
those goals.
