Dr. David B. Allman was a past president of the Miss America Organization and the American Medical Association. In memory of her husband, Mrs. Allman established a scholarship foundation to be administered by The Miss America Foundation for the grant of scholarships to Miss America candidates who wished to enter the field of medicine to become medical doctors. Allman Scholarships will be granted, if there are qualified applicants, to those women in the Miss America system who meet the requirements for grant of scholarships. This scholarship is available to women who have competed at the local, state, or national level(s) of the Miss America Organization from 2011 to present, regardless of whether a title was won. Applicants will be considered for the award based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, grade point average (high school and college/university), class rank, MCAT score, extra-curricular activities, financial aid requirements, household income, and level of participation within the system.
