Developed by the Liberian United Women in Progress
(LUWIP) a non-profit, non political community based
resource group headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, The Miss
Liberia in the U.S. scholarship pageant was borned out of the
need to create a forum for young women of Liberian decent
here in the United States of America to embrace and
promote their culture, express their talent, beauty, and
accomplishments.
Hundreds of thousands of Liberians found themselves here in
the United States fleeing almost 20 years of civil unrest that
nearly destroyed our beloved country, and took the lives of
over 500,000 of its citizens. The Miss Liberia in the U.S.
Scholarship pageant first took center stage in July of the year
2000, and has remained an annual tradition, and the main
attraction of our independence celebration in Philadelphia,
PA. The pageant, now in its seventh year, is attracting
corporate sponsorship from all across the United States.

Today, the Miss Liberia in the U.S Organization is even more passionate about community service and education and is making significant
strides in these directions. Our goal is to develop women who seek to improve the lives of others, as well as achieve their personal goals.
Under the leadership of The Liberian United Women in Progress (LUWIP), the Miss Liberia in the U.S Organization is partnering with
community based groups to continue to give Liberia a voice right here in the United States. Because of these and many other endeavors,
Miss Liberia in the U. S is goal oriented, career savvy and a beautiful young woman. She is culturally aware, charismatic, spiritually
sentient, educated, and intelligent; and all of these characteristics are personified in her everyday life.
The organization continues to grow rich in history and social significance as we work to rebuild and promote a positive image of our
beloved Liberia and at the same time propagate the UNITY that is necessary for the development of a vibrant Liberian community abroad
and at home(in Liberia). To find out more about our organization please visit www.luwip.org
