Dear Pageant Family & Friends,

The Miss America Organization is the world's largest competitive scholarship program for young women, and one of the nation's leading achievement programs.  The Miss Louisiana Scholarship Organization is honored to be part of this program.  This year, the Miss Louisiana Scholarship Organization and local pageants across our State made available over 634,000 in cash and tuition scholarships.  Through this program, contestants receive thousands of dollars in scholarships and gain poise, confidence, and life skills that will benefit them, the State of Louisiana and our Country for the rest of their lives.
