About Us

The Miss Marin County Scholarship Organization is an official local preliminary to the Miss California/Miss America Organizations. The Miss America Organization is one of the nation's leading achievement programs and the world's largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women. Last year, the Miss America Organization and its state and local organizations made available more than $45 million in cash and scholarship assistance. 

The Miss Marin County Scholarship Organization exists: 
  • To provide personal and professional opportunities for young women to promote their voices in culture, politics and the community
  • To provide a forum for today's young women to express their viewpoints, talents and accomplishments to audiences
  • To provide young women with a vehicle to further their personal and professional goals and instill a spirit of community service through a variety of unique community-based programs
  • To provide scholarship for young women to make their pursuit or a higher education possible
