Distinguished Young Women of Monroe County, formally known as the Monroe County Junior Miss Scholarship Program, is a once in a lifetime opportunity. High school juniors are given the opportunity to meet other girls from around the county, make new friends and participate in an organized competition for cash college scholarships. Participants compete in the areas of scholarship, talent, fitness and poise. The Monroe County Junior Miss Program has been recognized statewide and nationally for its outstanding local program. While the title of the program will be changing this year, the mission remains the same, “to provide scholarship opportunities to outstanding college-bound high school girls, and to encourage personal development in all young people through its Be Your Best Self outreach program.”
