LOL!
I guess my hope that Michigan wins just went down the tubes.

I was really pulling for Georgia, she was my FAVE. But she ended up 1st runner up though, and that's good.

Was anyone else surprised to hear how little the scholarships are? I caught it at 3rd Runner Up - $15,000. She probably spent more on her clothes!

That's not even enough for a YEAR at some private schools.

I guess it's a hard sell - people have only so many charity dollars to spend. Who are you going to give them to: the USO, Juvenile Diabetes, or Miss America?

True, and most people figure that the Miss America contests are such that they have other scholarship opprtunities avaliable since they're so academically accomplished (or they have parents who can assist them with college tuition).

It's about 15K a semester to go to my school after you factor in room and board; forget about books.
I really wanted Miss Georgia to win...Indiana was a complete surprise to me

I didn't watch but back when I competed Miss America's scholarship was over $50,000. I don't remember anything in the Top 5 under $25,000. I'm thinking the shrinking scholarships have more to do with their ratings than it does with the economy.
