The Jackson County Rosequeen Scholarship Pageant began as an official event of the Jackson County Rose Festival in 1960. Jackson County's first Rosequeen crowned was Lynn Watson. The Rosequeen Scholarship Pageant has a contract agreement with the Miss Michigan Scholarship Pageant and the Miss America Pageant. More than a half a million dollars in cash and in-kind scholarships has been awarded to contestants in the Rosequeen Scholarship Pageant since it's inception.
