About the Miss Collegiate USA Organization

The Miss Collegiate USA Organization is a non-profit organization determined by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity.  The annual event, its national pageant, celebrates and rewards young women who are college-bound, current degree seekers with higher education exposure, or seeking help to pay student loan debt with career opportunities, cash and college scholarships.  

​Our pageant aspirations are to recognize and incentivize young women to receive scholarships for higher education, and become positive role models, all while building a strong sisterhood.
