“Miss Debutante 2024/2025”

Crown & Scholarship

 

My name is Aubri Hardaway... 

 

I am a proud student at the School for Creative and Performing Arts , where I am committed to academic excellence. I am THRILLED  to announce that I have been selected to participate in the Cincinnati Alumnae Chapter (CAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s Debutante Cotillion!

The cotillion is an amazing opportunity to celebrate my achievements, build my confidence and compete for scholarships to support my education. Since 1993 CAC has awarded over $250,000 in scholarships to participants and I am honored to be part of this amazing opportunity.  

To make this happen, participants like me need support through donations, journal ads, and gala ticket sales. 

Your contribution would truly make a difference as I work toward my future goals. I plan to attend an HBCU and pursue film + screenwriting.

I truly value every contribution, no matter the size, as it directly empowers the success and continued growth of the scholarship program.

What is a Debutante Cotillion?

A debutante cotillion is essentially a formal introduction to society for young women, traditionally marking their “coming out” into adulthood. Leading up to the big event, the program holds lessons on etiqutte, manners and more. Picture an elegant evening full of twirling gowns, gentlemanly dances, and a lot of poise—It’s an age-old tradition that combines fun, formalities, and a touch of glamour, all while empowering future leaders by helping debutantes build confidence and community ties.

What is the age of the debutante?

A debutante is a young woman (high school juniors & seniors ) who is interested in making her entrance into adulthood.
