The Purpose of Miss American Coed Pageants
Since 1983, Miss American Coed Pageants has awarded more than $12 million in scholarships and prizes to recognize and assist in the development of young women nationwide. We help our contestants become tomorrow's leaders. As we guide them through the steps of competition, they gain poise, self-confidence and valuable communications skills. Every facet of our pageant is designed to develop skills that are found in our country's most successful people; skills that are an asset in any field, from modeling to business.
Pageants are exciting and lots of fun . . . but there is more than fun and excitement ahead for every contestant! Every year we see hundreds of young ladies arrive on Pageant Weekend who are too unsure or shy to get on stage. By pageant time they are enjoying new found confidence and being in the spotlight! We want every contestant to go home with a new sense of self-worth and. poise that can only be developed through practice and stage experience. In other words, we want them to gain confidence, set and achieve goals, and learn to be the best person they can be. These are the most important prizes contestants take home with them and that is what American Coed Pageants are all about!

What Is American Coed Pageants, Inc.?
American Coed Pageants, Inc. is a Florida corporation that has been operating nationwide since 1983. American Coed Pageants is a scholarship program, headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, for girls ages 3 to 22. Pageants are held on state and national levels with the national pageant being held each November in Orlando, Florida at the Hilton Walt Disney World Resort. State pageants are directed by experienced directors from all across the country. Each director is highly qualified; many have advanced degrees, and all play an active role in the business and educational community. American Coed Pageants is not affiliated with any other pageant system nor does it endorse any other pageants.
American Coed Pageants was selected as our pageant name so it would not be confused with ordinary pageants. A girl who is referred to as “Coed” brings to mind an All-American girl…one who is a good student, full of enthusiasm for her school and family, and who is preparing herself to become the very best person she can be. Our goal from the beginning was to be recognized not only as a unique program, but also one of the best programs available for girls in America. Our pageant is a family experience that will long be remembered!
