Today, Miss North Charleston’s Teen, Katie Clark, announced her intent to participate in the 87th Annual Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization Competition.
Taking place at the Township Auditorium in Columbia, South Carolina, the Competition is set to begin on Wednesday, June 26th, 2024, and will conclude with the crowning of Miss South Carolina 2024 on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
After competing in the 2024 Miss North Charleston, Summerville, Lowcountry competition, Miss Clark was crowned Miss North Charleston’s Teen 2024 on September 23, 2023 making her an eligible delegate to compete for the title of Miss South Carolina 2024. Miss Clark hails from
Sumter, South Carolina, and she is currently a senior at Laurence Manning Academy.
“I am excited and honored to represent the North Charleston area, but also my home of Sumter and Clarendon counties,” said Clark. “The Miss South Carolina Organization is about empowering young women like myself to be leaders and forces of change. My involvement has provided me many opportunities to work with, serve alongside , and learn from some incredible women. I am looking forward to the state competition in June. It is always a fun-filled, exciting week.”
Each delegate, including Miss Clark, vying for the title of Miss South Carolina exemplifies all that is best in today’s modern woman. Miss South Carolina must be talented, intelligent and well-spoken, she is a leader with a strong commitment to her community, she understands the importance of mental and physical health, and she is a role model for millions as a relatable “it girl” who can connect with today’s contemporary woman.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Katie to Columbia for the 2024 Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization Competition,” said Gavin J. Smith, Director of Public Relations for the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization. “In our 87th year of service to thousands of young ladies from all corners of the Palmetto State, we’re excited to kick off this vibrant, colorful and exciting event, and learn who will become our 2023 Miss South Carolina.”
The Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization is an official preliminary to the Miss America Competition. Often perceived as a one-night competition to the general public, the organization lends itself to much more, including being one of the largest providers of scholarships to young women in the State of South Carolina, and facilitating a forum by which ladies can express their opinions, talents, and intelligence.
Participation in this program provides young women with the opportunity to promote individual social impact initiatives, gain experience through participation in interviews, talent performances, public speaking, and social/digital media interactions while serving as role models in their communities – all with the support of dedicated volunteers assisting them in their pursuit of academic excellence, service and lifelong success.
Candidates within the organization compete for over $200,000 in scholarships each year made possible by local competitions and the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Foundation. They also complete over thousands of hours of community service.
The Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization operates within the guidelines of the Miss America Organization while stressing individuality, personal development, communication skills and physical and mental health.
