How It Works
The Distinguished Young Women of Los Angeles County for each graduating class will be selected in winter/spring of their JUNIOR year. The Los Angeles County Program runs on a one-day evaluation system. This is a full day with rehearsals, interviews and culminating in an onstage presentation. The representatives selected will participate in the Distinguished Young Women of California program that summer in Bakersfield, California. ALL participants are eligible for college granted scholarships!
