A National Leadership Experience Rooted in American History
Miss Juneteenth America Scholarship Pageantry Program is a national educational and leadership experience that honors Juneteenth as a vital chapter of American history. Hosted annually in Mobile, Alabama, this program brings together young leaders ages 13–18 from across the nation to grow in confidence, cultural understanding, and purpose—while competing for scholarships and recognition.
This is where heritage meets leadership, and where the freedom journey continues through education.
Why Families Are Looking for Something More
Families, educators, and community leaders are searching for programs that do more than reward appearance or performance. They want meaningful opportunities that build leadership, reinforce values, and connect young people to American history in a way that feels alive, relevant, and empowering.
Too often, leadership programs overlook cultural legacy, and history lessons feel disconnected from real-world growth. Young leaders deserve an experience that shows them they are not outside the American story, but central to it.
Our Purpose and Promise
Miss Juneteenth America Scholarship Pageantry Program was created to answer that call.
With nearly five years of national programming, scholarship distribution, cultural education, and youth leadership development, our organization serves as a trusted guide for families and communities seeking something deeper. We combine the credibility of a scholarship program with the heart of a cultural institution, grounded in American history and focused on the future.
Our approach is rooted in clarity, care, and purpose.
