If you are interested in competing in the Miss W Scholarship Pageant, contact Marla Frisby in the Office of Student Life. Emily was a top ten finalist in the 1998 Miss Mississippi Pageant. Lacy will compete for the Miss Mississippi title in July. Winning the Miss W title is about more than just wearing a crown. A very important aspect of the pageant is a contestant's platform.
Contestants spend many hours developing and promoting their platform goals.
A contestant's platform is not chosen at random, but is a topic for which she has deep concern and passion. Her platform is a topic that has effected her life so much that she wants to share her commitment with her community. It is a program she will continue to devote herself to long after she has passed on her coveted crown. The Miss W Pageant is an official preliminary to Miss America. The Miss America Organization is the largest provider of scholarship money for women anywhere in the world.
