merican Airlines and Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) are growing together again!  In anticipation of increasing interest in travel to the Asheville area, American is launching new daily nonstop service to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) as well as new Saturday service to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) in time for summer.

Miss Collegiate USA Pageant
Jul 10 all-day
Hyatt Regency Greenville

The Inaugural Miss Collegiate USA Pageant will be held at the Hyatt Regency Greenville in Greenville, South Carolina, July 9-10, 2021.

Young ladies, ages 13-29, will participate in collegiate and high school divisions. The winners will receive a $40,000 college scholarship from Marymount University, and all contestants will receive scholarships as well. Contestants will also have the opportunity to win additional cash scholarships and awards.

Our pageant is very different than most pageants, as we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing scholarships for young women to afford the price of a college education, or those seeking help to pay off existing college loan debt.​ 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.

With our mission of “Making College Affordable: Reducing Student Loan Debt.”, we encourage our contestants to know the importance of higher education and being a positive role model while leaving a legacy for others to follow. Our national queens will wear their crowns with “Purpose and Sense of Achievement!”

During this week-long event, delegates will meet with college admissions representatives during the free MCU University & Pageant Fair (that will be held on Thursday in the hotel), learn about the financial aid process, build friendships with other young ladies from across the nation, and tour the city of Greenville! For additional information on the University & Pageant Fair, visit https://www.misscollegiateusa.org/universityfair

The week ends with the Preliminary and Final Competition, July 9-10, where the two winners are selected from the Interview, Academics & Achievements, Lifestyle & Fitness in Swimsuit and Poise in Evening Gown competitions.

In 2021 the organization anticipates to award over $500,000 in scholarships, cash and awards. Winners of the national pageant will receive a prize package to include a $5,000 cash scholarship, $40,000 Marymount University scholarship, Disney Education Course at Walt Disney World, sponsor gifts and many other awards.

Event Tickets available on Eventbrite beginning June 1, 2021. (No cash accepted) or
