The Ann Ingram Character Scholarship is awarded to a Miss titleholder who is voted by her fellow titleholders. It is provided by Dr. Ozzie Ingram and his family, in memory of his wife of 45 years, Ann Ingram, who passed away in September 2018. Mrs. Ingram was a devoted wife and mother who served others in the church, community, and neighborhood throughout her life. She was a person of the highest level of character and developed character in her children and many young women in the churches she attended through the years. For these reasons, this scholarship is especially fitting to be established in her name.
All titleholders will have the opportunity to nominate a Titleholder that they believe meets the criteria for the scholarship. This scholarship is intended to honor the Titleholder who most clearly demonstrates the traits of integrity, honesty, loyalty, morality, fidelity, and purity.
The three titleholders with the most nominations will move on to the final vote to be taken at the end of Miss Texas week. These nominees will be announced at the Visionary Brunch on Sunday at the beginning of pageant week.
