The Award
Dr. David B. Allman was a past president of the Miss America Organization and the American Medical Association.  In memory of her husband, Mrs. Allman established a scholarship foundation to be administered by The Miss America Foundation for the grant of scholarships to Miss America candidates 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 program 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 candidates at the National, State and Local level.  From time to time, The Miss America Foundation has also contributed funds to increase the scholarships available.

Guidelines for Grant
Allman Scholarships will be granted if there are qualified applicants, to those women in the Miss America system who meet the requirements for grant of scholarships. 

This scholarship is available to women who have competed at the local, state, or national level(s) of the Miss America Organization from 2011 to present, regardless of whether a title was won.

The Scholarship Committee will make an annual award based on the earned income of the fund.  There will be one (1) Allman Medical Scholarship for the 100 Year Miss America Competition with an award amount of $10,000.00.  The Committee members will review all applications for scholarships and will award one or more scholarships per year depending upon the qualifications of applicants.
