Miss Oshkosh

The title of Miss Oshkosh is part of the Miss Oshkosh Scholarship Organization. Young women ages 18-25, working, living, or attending school in Winnebago County, Wisconsin compete annually for the title. Miss Oshkosh is an official local preliminary to Miss Wisconsin and Miss America. 

​

The first Miss Oshkosh was crowned in 1964 and received a $100 scholarship. Over time, that amount grew and more scholarships and awards were presented to competitors. Today, every single Miss Oshkosh candidate receives a scholarship to further their education. Since 1970, 470 young women have received cash scholarships totaling $316,000.
