The Miss America Organization, the nation's leading achievement program and the world's largest provider of scholarship assistance for women, has extended its trusted and celebrated 84-year-old brand to include a national teen program for the first time ever!

The mission of the Miss America's Outstanding Teen organization is to promote scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, healthy living and community involvement for America's teens.

Miss America's Outstanding Teen is a scholarship based program. Through the efforts of thousands of volunteers across the country, the organization offers to accomplished teens the opportunity to win college scholarship funds.

The first national competition will be held at the Orange County Convention Center, Linda Chapin Theater, Orlando, FL. The MAOTeen Headquarters is located in the beautiful Rosen Centre Hotel.
