There are multiple scholarship awards and prizes for the ladies to vie for, totaling more than $8,000. 

Since completing and submitting their applications to be contestants, the 13 women have rehearsed a group choreographed routine at Alternative Steps Dance Studio in downtown Lincolnton and finished one-on-one interviews, both of which will be presented on August 3.
