Welcome to the
Miss Juneteenth Arizona
Scholarship Program
The South Chandler Self-Help Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 corporation, and the City of Chandler celebrate Juneteenth each year with the annual Miss Juneteenth Arizona Scholarship Program.
The Program consists of a series of contestant workshops and community service activities, the Miss Juneteenth Arizona Scholarship Pageant at the Chandler Center of the Arts, and all post-pageant appearances. The contestant workshops include Juneteenth History, a focus on career opportunities, budgeting, future financial planning, and knowledge of current events, just to name a few of the topics.
These programs are designed to provide an opportunity for young women to enhance the understanding of their heritage and further develop the building of their self-esteem, expression, and passion for life.
You can support the Miss Juneteenth Arizona Scholarship Program by becoming a contestant or providing financial support through sponsorship or donation. All funds are used to support all phases of the program, from recruiting contestants through post-pageant activities.
