2017 Miss Teenage Tampa Contestants<br />

The Miss Teenage Tampa Scholarship Pageant (MTAT) was founded in 1967 as a means to promote<br />

high scholastic st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> provide a format for college bound young ladies to present<br />

their talents. Activities surrounding the<br />

pageant provide experiences which contribute to the cultural heritage, enrichment <strong>and</strong> personal<br />

growth of contestants.<br />

The pageant is the signature fundraiser for the Gamma Theta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa<br />

Alpha Sorority, Inc. In addition to financing the pageant, it also generates the funds for the community<br />

scholarships, Heritage Awards <strong>and</strong> other program activities. The community scholarships<br />

are awarded by partnering with the Hillsborough Education Foundation which provides a list of<br />

eligible c<strong>and</strong>idates. Some of these scholarships are matched by Hillsborough Community College.<br />

The Heritage Awards are presented to the children of active Gamma Theta Omega members<br />

who are graduating from high school. Since the inception of the pageant, Gamma Theta Omega<br />

has awarded over 400 scholarships to young ladies in the Tampa Bay community.<br />
