MISS BLACK AMERICA INTRODUCES TRAILBLAZING SCHOLARSHIP PAGEANT AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN TEEN GIRLS

Charlotte, NC (BlackNews.com) - Rachel Oliver-Cobbin Miss Black America 1986 rolls out new scholarship pageant and development program for African American teen girls between the ages of 15 to 18 years old.

The Miss Teen African American Scholarship Pageant and Development Program is a national competition in which teen girls from every state can vie for crowns to represent their state at the national event held in Charlotte, NC this summer.

When asked how this pageant is different from the numerous other pageants in existence today, Mrs. Oliver-Cobbin says, "By participating in this pageant and development program you will Train to Reign. The program is more than the typical five day, production centered competition. It is a preparatory course in self development designed to equip the young women with a defined sense of self and purpose that leads to a more disciplined and courageous life."

The contestants will be educated in both technical and practical life enhancing skills through the use of written materials, participation in enrichment sessions, and hours of hands-on training. The Miss Teen African American Scholarship Pageant and Development Program is an excellent proving ground for young women who are the best and the brightest of today and the leaders of tomorrow.

Several mothers and daughters, who have already signed up for the program, say they have been waiting on a program like this for a long time, and say, they feel this is truly a golden opportunity.

The excitement begins July 7th - 23rd, 2006 in the Queen City Charlotte, North Carolina. The winner will receive an extensive prize package featuring a $10,000 cash scholarship for college and a new 2006 automobile. Teen girls 15 to 18 years of age interested in representing their state can apply for acceptance into the program. The application deadline is February 28, 2006.
