Together the two organizations share a commitment in raising awareness for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals as well as the Miss America Scholarship Program. Nina is representative of a new generation of women- a diverse generation of women- who are making their mark, through education and community service. The Miss America Organization is one of the nation’s leading achievement programs and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women.
