The Distinguished Young Women (formerly Junior Miss) motto Emphasis on Education is the foundation on which the entire Distinguished Young Women program and experience is built. The York County Distinguished Young Women Scholarship program continues to emphasize education by recognizing, rewarding and encouraging excellence in young women with scholarship dollars to further their education.
The mission of America's, Pennsylvania's, and York County's Distinguished Young Women:
To emphasize education by providing scholarship opportunities to outstanding, college-bound high school girls, and to encourage personal development in all young people through the Be Your Best Self outreach program.
Volunteers, contestants and observers should always keep in mind that the motivation force behind the distinguished Young Women Program is to contribute to the inner development of each participant.
The focus of the program is always on encouraging each young women to strive for continual improvement and to always be her best self.
At each level, be it local, state, or national, the Distinguished Young Women Program believes the young woman ultimately chosen by the judges is "a representative chosen from a group of winners, not a winner selected from a group of representatives." She represents the outstanding qualities of all the women participating in the program.
