The winner of the pageant will receive a two-semester tuition scholarship to Arkansas Tech and more than $3,000 in gift certificates and prizes from area businesses. In all, more than $17,000 in gifts and scholarships will be awarded to contestants competing in the pageant.

The Miss Tech Scholarship Pageant serves an official preliminary for the Miss America Pageant, and Miss Tech will compete in the Miss Arkansas Pageant this July in Hot Springs.
