The winner of Miss Connecticut, Miss Connecticut’s Outstanding Teen and Miss America’s Outstanding Teen will receive a $5,000 UNH undergraduate scholarship in addition to any merit-based aid and financial aid they may be eligible for, said Abate.
UNH is the only university in the state to provide the scholarship at the teen level.
The Miss Connecticut Pageant is an official preliminary contest to the Miss America Pageant, the nation's leading achievement program and the world's largest provider of scholarship assistance to young women.
Participation in the Connecticut program provides young women with the opportunity to promote a platform of community service, share their talents, intelligence, and positive values while serving as role models in their communities.
The outstanding teen program serves girls aged 13 to 17, while the Miss Connecticut Pageant serves young women aged 17-24.
Winners within the Miss UNH pageant go on to the Miss Connecticut pageant.
