Miss Merced County, Sierra Nevada and Yosemite Valley is a preliminary competition to Miss California and Miss America. A 49 year tradition, our program provides scholarship money to young women ages 14-28. Throughout the year, Miss Merced County supports multiple community events and promotes her Community Service Initiative and competes at the Miss California competition.
Miss America is the nation’s leading empowerment and service platform for young women, supporting their personal and professional growth while inspiring them to serve as positive role models in their communities. Since 1921, Miss America has been dedicated to its mission of “Empowering Women to Lead,” engaging thousands of young women nationwide, ages 14-28, as local and state brand ambassadors committed to community service. Through the Miss America’s Scholarship Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3), the program awards the largest amount of scholarships to women in America.
