Also know as Betty Crocker's All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow
The Betty Crocker's 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). Each state winner was entered into the National Competition, with only 1 national winner.
Above is a listing of the prizes for the contest.
