This is officially the first post of my blog, dedicated to the New Mexico’s Junior Miss Scholarship Program. I am excited to use this as a tool to relay JM news, information, tips, and other random stuff. I hope our current participants, past alumni, volunteers, parents, sponsors, and JM fans enjoy it!
What is Junior Miss?
Junior Miss is one of the largest, oldest, nonprofit scholarship program for high school senior girls. It is NOT A PAGEANT. The program provides scholarships to young ladies who are well-rounded and excel in several areas of life. The judging consists of looking at their academic achievements, interviewing skills, fitness, talent, and self-confidence and expression. We provide over $150,000 in scholarships at the National level each year.
Who can participate? High school senior girls compete at the local level and then advance to the state level. Each state selects a winner and that girl competes in the national finals in Mobile, Alabama.
For more info, visit our website, www.ajm.org.
I think the Junior Miss program is a great experience for any young lady and I recommend it. I had a wonderful time being part of the AJM family and I know any other senior girl will as well. Good job Marcie for posting this website, I think it is awesome!!!!!
