The Miss American Teenager Foundation (MATF) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the official scholarship partner of the Miss American Teenager Pageant.

MATF awards scholarships to national winners, delegates, and even non-pageant participants who embody our mission of Sisterhood, Friendship, and Fun through service and community involvement.

Each delegate is required to raise a minimum of $150 for the Foundation, which directly supports scholarships presented at nationals.

Delegates who raise $300 or more will be entered into a drawing to receive a special scholarship award, presented during the American Teen Awards™.

Each delegate is required to contribute at least $100 in gift cards for raffles held during the Welcome Party and American Teen Awards™.

If gift cards are not provided, a $100 cash contribution will be required at registration.

Proceeds from the raffles directly fund scholarships awarded at the national competition.
 

Delegates are responsible for acquiring the official production opening number attire, which will be announced prior to the event.

To honor tradition and sisterhood, each contestant is required to bring a small gift for both the outgoing and incoming queens of her division.

• Each gift should have a retail value between $5 and $10. 
• If gifts are not provided, a $20 cash contribution will be required at registration ($10 for each queen). 

The Miss American Teenager Pageant is more than a competition — it’s a celebration of authenticity, confidence, and community.

Join us as we mark 15 years of inspiring young women nationwide to embrace who they are, make lifelong friendships, and experience the magic of Miss American Teenager! 👑
