he longer the reign, the bigger your platform impact can be..

^To compete for the Ms. Achievement U.S.A. title as well as the Ms. Achievement World title the applicant may pay an additional $25 to enter U.S.A.. However, the contestant may only win one title. The highest scoring contestant becomes the World titleholder and the next highest scoring runner-up - who is competing for U.S.A. title - will win that title.

Kindly note: Membership, and the opportunity to compete, is granted only through a full application package submission, a live virtual applicant interview, a thorough review of credentials, and formal acceptance. This selective process ensures each candidate reflects the spirit of the Because…Smart is Beautiful® movement, has achieved educational success^^ and aligns with the three foundational pillars of DWP: education, community service, and mentorship.

^^In addition to various community service and mentoring activities, educational success may include the completion of a professional certificate (e.g., practical nursing), accredited associate, bachelor, master's degree, and/or honorary doctorate (honoris causa ). Education may also come in the form of on-the-job training. Therefore, OJT or entrepreneurship, which resulted in the owning and running of an active business, which is as the primary source of personal income, may be deemed educational success. Individuals with an earned, accredited academic doctorate degree granted by a federally recognized postsecondary academic institution would need to compete in a one of the DWP "Dr." competitions.
