As a prize for her award, Hallal received a $2,500 scholarship that she plans on putting towards her master’s degree.
Originally from the small town of Georgetown, Indiana, Hallal says she grew up with a love for the arts and storytelling. “It’s pretty much just the framework for low-income students and those with varying abilities to have access to artistic opportunities,” Hallal said. “When you are Miss America that crown, in a way serves as a microphone for issues that you find really important,” Hallal said. “I think we’re living in a world today that is so divided and one thing that really unites everybody is arts, music. Everybody has a favorite song, or a favorite movie and I want to make sure that everyone has access to creating art and not just enjoying it from an external level.
