About the Pageant

A Stage Built for Extraordinary Young Women

The Miss Standsfield U Pageant is not a beauty contest — it is a scholarship competition that recognizes and rewards the complete young woman: her intellect, her talent, her service, and her vision for the future.

Rooted in HBCU tradition and the legacy of Black excellence, our pageant has awarded over $25,000 in scholarships since its founding and produced ambassadors who have gone on to attend some of the nation's most prestigious HBCUs.
