Allman Medical Scholarships
Funded by DR. & MRS. DAVID B. ALLMAN
History of the Award
Dr. David B. Allman was a past president of the Miss America Pageant and the American Medical Association. In memory of her husband, Mrs. Allman, during her lifetime, established a scholarship foundation to be administered by the Miss America Organization for the grant of scholarships to Miss America Pageant contestants who wished to enter the field of medicine to become medical doctors. At her death in 1981, Mrs. Allman further funded this foundation so that young women involved in the Pageant system could take advantage of this opportunity to further or commence their education in the medical field. Since 1974, Allman Scholarships have been granted to various Miss America contestants at the National, State and Local level. From time to time, the Miss America Organization has contributed funds to raise the scholarships available.
Allman Scholarships will be granted annually, if there are qualified applicants, to those women in the Miss America Pageant system who meet the requirements for grant of scholarships. This scholarship is available to women who have competed within the system on the state, local or national level from 1996 to present regardless of whether a title was won. The committee members will review all applications for scholarships and will award one or more scholarships per year depending upon the qualifications of applicants.
A new application must be submitted each year and previous applicants may apply.
Applicants will be considered for the award based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, grade point average (high school and college/university), class rank, MCAT score, extra curricular activities, and financial aid requirements, household income and level of participation within the system.
