Thirty-one junior girls from Burley, Minico, Declo, and Raft River high schools will compete to win scholarships generously donated by the community. These young women have been working hard since early February to develop interview skills, improve public speaking skills, practice their talents, and learn a fitness routine.
Founded in 1958, Distinguished Young Women is a national scholarship program that encourages participants to reach their full individual potential and has awarded young women over $1 billion in scholarship opportunities nation-wide.
The Mini-Cassia Distinguished Young Women program is in its 23rd year. Last year over $30,000 in scholarships were awarded due to the generous donations of local businesses. The final showcase will be held over two nights, Thursday April 13 & Friday April 14 beginning each night at 7:00 PM. Reserved seating tickets can be purchased in advance. Ticket sales and donations directly support scholarships. Come cheer on your favorite participant and be entertained by the talent, strength, and poise of these accomplished young women.
