Miss Clatsop County
Scholarship Program
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
We are a preliminary competition to the
Miss Oregon and Miss America pageants and
award scholarship money to all who
participate. The Miss America program is the
#1 provider of scholarships for women in the
entire world. In 2015 we awarded over $6000
to local women. The competition is open to
women aged 13 to 24 who live, work or
attends school in Clatsop, Columbia and
Tillamook counties. Contestants are judged in
interview, fitness, talent and eveningwear. Not
only do contestants receive scholarship money
for school but gain interview and public
speaking skills, poise and confidence, and
must select a platform to be a spokesperson
for. Community service and volunteerism is
strongly encouraged. A princess program is
open for younger girls (5-12) as a mentorship
opportunity which emphasizes fun.

FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Our main fundraiser is a dinner held the night before our pageant. It features
a dinner buffet, live auction, and speeches by both outgoing titleholders and
contestants. It is made possible through donations by local businesses for
everything including the banquet room, food, linens, & the auction items
and worked exclusively by individuals who are donating their time.
CORPORATE GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
We have a four-tiered sponsorship system ranging from $125 - $1000.
Benefits for sponsorships range from advertising in our program book to
tickets to the pageant and everything in between. In addition, all sponsors
can book contestants and / or titleholders for their own individual events at
no charge.
SPONSORSHIP
In addition to the corporate sponsorships, contestants are given the
opportunity to “build your own scholarship” by selling program book ads.
Half of money from these ads goes to the program’s scholarship fund and
the other half goes directly into a scholarship fund for the contestant selling
the ad. Please consider supporting any contestants that ask you or your
business to purchase an ad.
DONATIONS
Items for the Friday night auction are welcome as are in kind donations for
services such as hair, make-up, fitness and wardrobe.
VOLUNTEER
We are strictly run by volunteers
and always looking for assistance.
Some volunteer opportunities
include recruiting & training
contestants, fund raising, working
backstage during production,
program book design, &
coordinating lodging for out of
town guests.
