Every year, Distinguished Young Women of Montana empowers high school senior girls to dream bigger, lead with confidence, and showcase their talents. Our program not only awards college and cash scholarships, but prepares young women for a future of purpose.

Distinguished Young Women holds three values close to the heart: scholarship, leadership and talent.

Scholarship: We help participants afford higher education and open doors that might otherwise remain closed. Some college scholarships are available to all participants while others are awarded to state representatives or winners of other categories.

Leadership: From interview and public speaking workshops to community service, participants gain vital abilities that will serve them well in college and beyond.

Talent: We celebrate individuality and creativity. Whether it’s dance, music, art, athletics, or another fantastic skill, our program gives every girl the stage to share her passions.

The Distinguished Young Women of Montana program serves high school senior girls from the Big Sky State. From Flathead to Big Horn county, participants get a holistic experience that includes both a virtual and in-person component.

Our culminating showcase will take place November 15th, 2025 at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. All of the money raised from this campaign will go towards scholarships for this year's participants.
