The 53rd National Finals was exciting this year as the Board of Directors announced a new name for our program, the Alumnae Council hosted its first Mobile Reunion, and fifty of the nation's best and brightest young women competed for more than $135,000 in cash scholarships and college scholarships to more than 200 colleges and universities.

 

Madison Leonard of Idaho became our first Distinguished Young Woman of America, winning $41,000 in cash scholarships. Meredith Gaufin of Utah was first runner up, winning $25,000 in cash scholarships and Anna Bryce Flowe of South Carolina was second runner up winning $15,000 in cash scholarships. Other finalists were (pictured left to right) Natali Gavanarova of Georgia, Kristi Snyder of Maryland, Ashley Gochocco of Pennslyvania, Mattie Bergeson of Washington, Paige Wagner of California, Kristen Mosley of Alabama and Meagan Fuller of Massachusetts. See more awards. 

 

Thank you also to our States Club Sponsors who each donated $5,000 and to our In-Kind Sponsors who donated meals, transportation, lodging, and much more! The 53rd National Finals was a great success because of the support  of our generous  sponsors. Thank you!
