What IS The Miss A Opportunity

OUR mission is to
“Empower women to Lead” –
to distribute scholarships, build confidence, cultivate professional and life skills, promote healthy living and serve the community.
So what is the Miss America Opportunity about?
The four points of the iconic Miss America crown symbolize success, style, service and scholarship.

Success

Participating in the Miss America Organization (MAO) not only helps you pay for college and prepare for a career, it provides opportunities to gain additional life experience, work on issues of importance to society, enhance your personal and professional skills and develop your talents.

Style

Your personal style is like a signature—unique to you and easily recognizable to others. Your style should be based solely on what you like, what looks good on you and how you portray it with confidence. Your signature style gives you the edge you need for pageant success.

Service

MAO founded the platform concept requiring contestants to choose issues relevant to our society. Once chosen, titleholders across the country use their stature to address their platform issues with community-service organizations, business and civic leaders, the media and others.

Scholarship

Most women who have or plan to compete in MAO have done so to earn scholarships to further their education. MAO empowers young women to achieve their personal and professional goals, while providing a forum in which to express their opinions, talent and intelligence.
