Where can my organization get the funds to attend a Model UN conference?
Because many Model UN conferences are held at colleges and hotels, fees can range from $5 to $250+ per delegate. These fees usually do not include transportation, meals, or lodging. In a few cases, meals and lodging are covered. Some conferences offer an early-registration discount, while others have late fees. Many Model UN groups request funds through their school’s administration to cover transportation and conference costs. Other groups apply for scholarships, but these are usually limited to groups traveling abroad. Model UN clubs can request funds through their local UNA-USA chapter. Groups should also try local organizations such as Rotary and Lions Clubs for support. Most groups do a lot of their own fundraising through monthly group activities, dance-a-thons, bake sales, car washes and sporting events.
