MISS PHILADELPHIA SCHOLARSHIP ORGANIZATION

The Miss Philadelphia Scholarship Organization, a 100% volunteer-based organization, is the oldest-active local competition with the Miss America program which is the largest provider of scholarships for women in the country.

Miss Philadelphia and Miss Philadelphia’s Teen are role models and ambassadors for the city. Each year, both women make nearly 100 appearances on behalf of charitable organizations and their personal social impact platforms. They also represent Philadelphia in the Miss Pennsylvania and Miss Pennsylvania's Teen competitions.

2024 marks the 103nd anniversary for Miss Philadelphia, who was one of the eight original contestants in the very first Miss America Pageant 1921 in Atlantic City. Three Miss Philadelphias have won Miss America in the program’s history.
