The Miss Kentucky Scholarship Organization continues to develop role models for communities not only in Kentucky, but the world.
Dr. Ashley D. Anderson, Executive Director for the competition and President of the Miss Kentucky boardsays “We had an outstanding week from the “Kickoff to the Crown” where the community met theparticipants during an event at Fourth Street Live, to the crowning of the two ladies who will represent Kentucky for the next year. Our judges had a very difficult task, but they chose two great young women that Kentucky will be proud of. We have no doubt that on the national stage these two will make us proud.”
The Miss Kentucky Scholarship Organization is a celebration of the talent, scholastic achievement andcommitment to service of Kentucky’s finest young women. This Organization is so much more than a crown...it is changing Kentucky, one young woman at a time!
