Miss Memphis & Miss Shelby County Scholarship Pageant

A nonprofit organization based in Jackson, Tennessee, Miss Tennessee Volunteer is a statewide, service-oriented scholarship program seeking to empower young women through education and opportunity. One of the top providers of scholarships for young women in Tennessee, Miss Tennessee Volunteer is also the #1 economic driver for the City of Jackson. In 2010, the Community Economic Development Commission surveyed the impact of the Pageant and found it to bring over $2M to Jackson during Pageant Week. Not only is Miss Tennessee Volunteer important to the community, but it is vital to the education of the young women of our state. In 2021 alone, Miss Tennessee Volunteer awarded our 36 contestants over $125,000 in college scholarships.
