Diamond State Program

The DSP participants share a fun week of activities including on stage nightly performances, a volunteer service project, talent show, themed parties, nightly escorts for the Miss and Teen as the contestants compete. The state competition will be held June 8th-15th, 2024 at the Robinson Performance Hall in Little Rock so save the date and join us for this exciting experience!  The goal of this program is to introduce young people across our state to the Miss America Organization, the largest scholarship provider for women in the world and pair them with one of our state candidates for mentoring.  In 2022, the Miss Arkansas Organization awarded over $227,000 to our Miss and Teen contestants and over $250,000 of in-kind scholarships.

The DSP participants have a fun week of activities including on stage nightly performances at the Teen and Miss Competitions, a volunteer service project, talent show, themed parties, nightly escorts for their Teen or Miss contestants and so much more!
