We are proud to announce the Spokane Miss Juneteenth Scholarship Program, a transformative initiative whose mission is to “position young Black/African American women to embrace their unique identities, celebrate their heritage, and pursue higher education while fostering a strong sense of community and leadership.”
Applications are open to Black teen girls between the ages of 16-18 who currently reside in Spokane County. Selected participants will explore the significance of Juneteenth, develop skills in public speaking, mentorship and leadership. Participants will be able to showcase their talents and share their aspirations at the Miss Juneteenth Scholarship Pageant on Saturday, April 26. At the pageant, one participant will be awarded with a scholarship that will help in the pursuit of achieving their educational dream. The community is invited to join in on the celebration of these extraordinary young scholars.
Sponsorships and donations are welcome to support the program and mission. For more information about the Miss Juneteenth Scholarship Program, please follow us on Facebook & Instagram @missjuneteenthspokane or reach out by email missjuneteenthspokane@gmail.com.
