Friday, January 29, 2010 – “Miss America: Behind the Curtain” on TLC Miss Alaska will also be featured on TLC’s one-hour televised Miss America special at 10 p.m. ET/PT, hosted by Clinton Kelly. "Miss America: Behind the Curtain” captures the excitement of all 53 Miss America contestants as they prepare for the 2010 Miss America Pageant. This year, the stakes grow higher as America will have the chance to vote contestants directly into the pageant’s Top 15. Following the Friday night special, America will be asked to go online to vote for their favorites contestants from a field of 10-12 – all chosen by the 53 contestants themselves instead of a team of outside consultants.

The Miss Alaska Scholarship Program is part of the Miss America Organization. The Miss America Organization is one of the nation’s leading achievement programs and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women. The Miss America Organization makes available more than $45 million in cash and tuition scholarship assistance every year.
