Miss UCA

The Miss Arkansas Organization, of which Miss UCA is an official local preliminary, is the #1 provider of scholarships to the state winner in the Miss America Organization, gives 100% of state contestants scholarships, and has awarded over $1 million dollars to contestants in the last 5 years. Since its founding in 1932, the Miss Arkansas Organization is dedicated to providing scholarships for young women to continue their education.

The first representative from the University of Central Arkansas to the Miss Arkansas Pageant was in 1965 as Miss Arkansas State Teachers College. In 1967, the University was renamed State College of Arkansas and in 1975 became the University of Central Arkansas. Miss UCA 2025 will be our 60th representative to the Miss Arkansas Competition. This UCA student will become part of a long and endearing legacy.

The Miss Arkansas Organization proudly supports the educational goals of women through unprecedented scholarships and opportunities for advocacy in communities across our great state. Our goal is to empower women with the experiences and scholarships that will allow them to achieve their educational goals while developing their presentation skills, talents and confidence. We are preparing women for the world and the world for great women!
