The winner of Miss America 2011 was Miss Nebraska, 17-year-old Teresa Scanlan. The pageant was broadcast on ABC.
Scanlan, at age 17, is the youngest Miss America winner since 1921. The winner that year was 15-year-old Margaret Gorman of the District of Columbia.
Miss America 2010, Caressa Cameron from Virginia, crowned Scanlan, who will receive a $50,000 scholarship. Scanlan was the winner of this
week’s Preliminary Talent Award, for her piano playing.
Scanlan was home schooled up to her junior year in high school. She was planning to attend Patrick Henry College, a Christian college in Virginia, but put those plans on hold until the fall of 2011 after she won Miss Nebraska.
Those plans will probably be deferred longer now that she won the Miss America crown.
