Miss America Organization and Sherman College Partner to Offer Potential of $5.6 Million in Scholarship Funds
Sherman College of Chiropractic and The Miss America Organization have announced the addition of a full chiropractic scholarship available to all 52 contestants who will compete in the 2017 Miss America Competition in Atlantic City.
Sherman College has opened the door to the chiropractic profession for young women by annually donating a full-tuition scholarship to each of the 52 national contestants in the Miss America Organization. This award is available to any state competition winners within the Miss America Organization who advance to compete in the 2017 Miss America Competition.
The scholarship award consists of a full in-kind tuition waiver, a total value of more than $100,000 per student ($7,766 per quarter for the 14-quarter program). If utilized by all 52 national contestants, the total scholarship offering from Sherman College would equal $5.6 million.
“We are eager to reach more young leaders and share with them a health care career that embraces their commitment to serving others,” said Sherman College President Edwin Cordero, D.C., of the college’s partnership with the Miss America Organization. “I think it is especially fitting to join forces with an organization which shares our focus on service and our desire to make a positive global impact.”
The scholarship introduction was spearheaded by former Miss New Hampshire, Stephanie Mills, D.C., who attended chiropractic school herself through a scholarship she was awarded while competing at Miss America.
“We are incredibly grateful to Sherman College of Chiropractic for their generous support of women’s education,” said Josh Randle, MAO’s Chief Operating Officer. “In a time where student debt plagues our country, this scholarship opportunity will enable future state titleholders like Dr. Mills to pursue a quality education and advance their careers in the chiropractic field.”
The Miss America Organization is proud to continue expanding the scholarship opportunities awarded to its contestants each year and is pleased to partner with Sherman College of Chiropractic to provide quality education to the incredible young women who participate in the Miss America Organization.
