About Us: Miss Juneteenth America Scholarship Pageantry Program®

At the Miss Juneteenth America Scholarship Pageantry Program®, we’re more than a pageant—we’re a movement dedicated to inspiring confidence, fostering education, and celebrating African American history.

Our mission is to empower young ladies aged 13–18 to embrace their identities, celebrate their heritage, and achieve their dreams. Through scholarships, cultural education, and leadership opportunities, we create a transformative experience that shapes the next generation of leaders.

We envision a world where young ladies are confident in who they are, proud of where they come from, and equipped with the tools to make a lasting impact in their communities.

The Miss Juneteenth Scholarship Pageantry Program® is a unique blend of personal growth, cultural enrichment, and scholarship opportunities. Here’s what sets us apart:

Founded to celebrate the legacy of Juneteenth, our program pays tribute to the resilience and achievements of African Americans. Each year, we honor this history by providing a platform for young ladies to showcase their talents, leadership, and cultural pride.

We welcome young ladies aged 13–18 from all walks of life who share our mission of confidence, culture, and community.

• Junior Miss Juneteenth America®: Ages 13–15
• Teen Miss Juneteenth America®: Ages 16–18

No prior pageant experience is required—just a passion for growth and a commitment to representing yourself and your heritage with pride.

Since our inception, we’ve helped young women across the country:

• Gain confidence through workshops and mentorship.
• Earn scholarships to support their educational journeys.
• Deepen their connection to African American history and culture.

Whether as a participant, sponsor, or supporter, there’s a place for you in the Miss Juneteenth America Scholarship Pageantry Program®. Together, we can continue to empower the next generation of leaders.
