Miss Southern Arkansas University is a scholarship pageant that takes place annually during the fall semester, and is a preliminary to the Miss Arkansas Pageant. There are four categories in which the contestants are judged: interview, talent, evening gown, and lifestyle & fitness. Each contestant must complete a critical issue statement which is intended to give each contestant a platform involving an issue that affects society in general or women in particular. Contestants will be interviewed about their chosen issue and will be asked a related question on stage during the evening gown competition. The Miss America Program requires each preliminary contestant to make a $100 donation to Children\u2019s Miracle Network, Miss America\u2019s national platform. Scholarship awards will be given to Miss SAU 2009, 1st Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up and Talent winner. The amounts are as listed:
