2007 MISS AMERICA "QUALITY OF LIFE" FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

Winners to be Announced at January 27th Press Conference

Las Vegas, NV – January 19, 2007 – Seven Quality of Life finalists were announced today at the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas during the Arrival Ceremony for the 2007 Miss America contestants.

The seven finalists are: Miss Alabama Melinda Toole, Miss Arizona Hilary Griffith, Miss Georgia Amanda Kozak, Miss Indiana Betsy Uschkrat, Miss Michigan Angela Corsi, Miss Rhode Island Allison Rogers, and Miss Virginia Adrianna Sgarlata.

The Quality of Life Awards program was introduced in 1988 as the first community service-related scholarships presented to Miss America contestants. They have since been amended with numerous other community service awards sponsored by the Miss America Organization, to contestants at all levels of competition and to high school students.

The winner of the Quality of Life Award will win a $3,000 scholarship; the first runner-up will receive a $2,000 scholarship, and the second runner-up a $1,000 scholarship. Winners will be announced at the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on January 27 at the 11:00am (PST) Press Conference.

Watch the 2007 Miss America Pageant live on CMT, January 29, 2007 at 8pm Eastern and 7pm Central. The Pageant will be tape delayed to air at 8pm Pacific and 9pm Mountain.

As the world's largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women and one of the nation's leading achievement programs, The Miss America Organization last year made available more than $45 million in cash and tuition scholarship assistance.

The Miss America Organization provides young women with a vehicle to further their personal and professional goals and instills a spirit of community service through a variety of unique nationwide community-based programs.
