Will You Be The Next Miss Jackson Hospitality?
Jackson has a story worth telling — and the Miss Hospitality program needs someone ready to tell it.
If you're between 18 and 24 and proud to call JXN home, here's your opportunity to compete for more than $100,000 in scholarships while serving as the city's official spokesperson for a full year.
A Scholarship Tradition Since 1949
The Mississippi Miss Hospitality Competition champions the state's tourism and economic development while investing in the women who represent it. Local title holders serve a full year as their community's spokesperson — leaving the program with lifelong friendships, sharpened communication skills, and public speaking confidence.
The young woman crowned Mississippi's Miss Hospitality serves as the state's official Goodwill Ambassador, traveling regionally and nationally to promote the Hospitality State.

Contestants compete for more than $100,000 in scholarships and prizes. The next Mississippi Miss Hospitality receives a $25,000 prize package. Additional college-granted funds are available through partner institutions across the state.
