The Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Scholarship Program began in 1955. Senior high girls took a written test on homemaking attitudes and knowledge. The girl with the highest score in each school received a pin (or later, charm) and she was entered into the state competition for a scholarship. Each scholarship winner and second runner-up won $1500 (in 1959).

Program: 1955-1977

Sponsoring Organization: General Mills, which owns Betty Crocker

According to the history pages of General Mills, 2.1 million dollars in scholarships were awarded.

Early pins marked TRIFARI
