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).

Miss Indiana and Miss Georgia were my 1st choices

I ddn't like Miss Tenn; she looked like she was giving snarky looks, just call my name and get it over with!

This was actually the competition that ruined my childhood dreams. I'm not saying that I'm gorgeous, or was on the pageant trail, but for some reason, the glamour of Miss America seems to have dissapated for me now.

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
