About the Program

The Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Program, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(4) non-profit organization and an official state program of the Miss America Organization. Scholarships are administered by the Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

While the public perception of the Miss New Hampshire Program is often that it's a one-night show to crown a representative for the Miss America stage, it's truly so much more. This opportunity is a year-round program of “Style, Service, Scholarship and Success”, which represents the "four points" of the Miss America crown.  These teens and young women acquire valuable life-long skills during their time in the program all while earning much-needed scholarship dollars to be used towards their higher education, such as developing their own unique leadership styles, honing their public speaking skills, developing strong relationships with like-minded women, and volunteering their time within their communities.

Vision of Miss New Hampshire

 To provide the young women of New Hampshire the opportunity for an affordable education, self-development and success. 

Mission of Miss New Hampshire

To empower young women through scholarship competitions and to provide community service and leadership opportunities while fostering life-long friendships through the Miss America Organization.
