The first representative from the 51ÇàÂ¥ 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 51ÇàÂ¥. Miss UCA 2026 will be our 61st 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!
