Our mission is to empower young women to reach their full potential by providing scholarship opportunities for college as well as personal development to become confident leaders.
Over $1 Billion in scholarship opportunities are made available each year through cash or college granted scholarships.
The program takes place in all 50 states and Washington DC with some states having local programs as well. Depending on the state and local program, young women participate in either their junior or senior year of high school.
Each year’s class of state representatives travel to Mobile, Alabama the June after their high school graduation to take part in the Distinguished Young Women National Finals. They spend two weeks getting to know each other while enjoying events and volunteering in the local community, developing Life Skills for college and beyond, and performing on stage to a national audience.
Your application to Distinguished Young Women is free.
Take the time and apply to the largest scholarship program for young women. After your application, a local representative will contact you.
