Claci Ayers (Warren ’11) represented Warren County in the America’s Distinguished Young Women (formerly known as Kentucky Junior Miss) in January.

Ayers reached the round of twelve finalists, was the winner of the scholastic award, and received an interview award.  In all, she received scholarships totaling $900.

The Distinguished Young Women of Kentucky program awards college scholarships to young women who have distinguished themselves at school and in their communities.  Participants in the program develop interview skills, self-confidence, and other life skills that lead to future success.

Distinguished Young Women was founded in 1958 and is headquartered in Mobile, Alabama.  More than 700,000 young women from across the nation have participated in Junior Miss programs at the local, state, and national levels.  In addition to cash scholarships, Junior Miss participants are eligible for college-granted scholarships from nearly 200 colleges and universities.
