The Quality of Life Awards were initiated in 1988 as the result of a concept developed by the Miss America Organization for a television sponsor. They were the first community service-related awards presented to Miss America contestants. For the past few years, the Miss America Organization has been the sole sponsor of the few awards to national contestants.
The winner and runners-up will be announced during Miss America Week. They will be asked to receive their awards during a press conference and photo opportunity.
Rules for disbursement will follow the Scholarship Rules & Regulations of the Miss America Organization.
