"I did lots of things. I was a pianist, but not quite
good enough to get a music scholarship; an athlete, but I didn't play a
varsity sport; smart, but not smart enough to get an academic
scholarship. So competing in the Miss America program was an
opportunity to get a scholarship for school."

Miss America 1987
You have ideas and plans and goals - so much to offer the world - but
how? Each year young women just like you choose to compete in the
Miss America system. That's right! Many of them are just like you -
yet they know that the Miss America Organization is the single largest
provider of scholarships for young women in the world.
Whether you want to become a doctor or a dancer, an accountant or an
architect, the Miss America Organization has an opportunity that will
help bring you closer to achieving your goals. To become Miss America,
a contestant must first win a local competition and then compete to
represent her state, a process requiring personal commitment, hard
work and talent. A woman may compete as a state titleholder only once
at the national Miss America competition. More than twelve thousand
young women participate each year in the local and state events,
culminating in the selection of 52 national finalists who vie for the
Miss America title in Las Vegas. Tens of thousands of volunteers
organize the local and state preliminary competitions, promoting
community involvement throughout the United States and furthering
scholarship and achievement among young women in their communities. It
does not cost a cent to compete in the Miss America program - all you
need is commitment, perseverance, talent and ambition.
