About Miss Wisconsin: Established in 1936, the Miss Wisconsin Scholarship Organization is a
non-profit state affiliate of the Miss America Organization. Miss Wisconsin and its local affiliates are
dedicated to supporting continuing education through scholarships, facilitating community service
and volunteerism, promoting personal growth and leadership skills, and instilling confidence among
the young women who participate in the program. Almost all delegates have either received, or are
in the process of earning, college or postgraduate degrees and utilize Miss America scholarships to
further their education. Each delegate dedicates her year of service to promoting a “social impact
initiative,” a personal cause she champions to make a positive difference in her community. Three
Miss Wisconsins have gone on to become Miss America: Terry Anne Meeuwsen (1973), Laura
Kaeppeler (2012) and Grace Stanke (2023). To request Miss Wisconsin 2022 for an appearance,
