PIFA’s Miss Pacific Islander of San Diego Pageant was established in 2004 and is a cultural scholarship program advocating for women’s education and to provide scholarship assistance.  It is designed for Pacific Islander women who are of Polynesian, Micronesian, and Melanesian ancestry of the indigenous areas.  Through this forum, participants shine in their talents and skills, serving as leaders through service, and as ambassadors for PIFA.  

Throughout the year, the Miss PIFA court train to become leaders through service and establish a platform that will support their personal missions.  They participate in public appearances, charity events, parades, media/radio opportunities, and more.  They also challenge their leadership skills by developing a special project of their choice intended to collaborate their individual platforms as a team, which will have a lasting impact on the community.
