Meet Our Class of 2026
Introducing our Class of 2026 which competed in the Miss Douglas County Scholarship Program’s annual competition on March 1, 2026, at 2:00pm in UCC’s Jacoby Auditorium.
We have another record-breaking year on our hands! Over $65,000 in scholarships were awarded to the 10 miss candidates and 13 teen candidates in our Class of 2026. An additional $10,000 cash prize went to our Shining Stars, which brings our total for 2026 to over $75,000 in scholarships and prizes. These scholarships would not be possible without the continued support of our generous sponsors and community members.
