Financial Assistance

The Secretariat of HNMUN 2011 is committed to providing assistance to delegations that would otherwise be unable to attend our conference for financial reasons. Delegations are welcome to apply for financial assistance from the conference to cover part of the cost of attending HNMUN, including fees, transportation, food, and hotel. Our Under-Secretary-General for Finance is also available to help schools develop fundraising plans to cover the costs of attending the conference.

Our main prerequisites for granting assistance are that delegates show both demonstrated need and demonstrated fundraising efforts. Any interested applicants are advised to carefully read and complete our Guide to Fundraising and the Financial Assistance Application.

The priority deadline for financial assistance applications is 31 October 2010. Applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis until the final deadline on 30 November 2010. Decisions will be announced in early December.

The Secretariat of HNMUN 2011 is making every effort to make the HNMUN experience as accessible as possible, but please bear in mind that, with our limited resources, it is very rare for any delegates to receive full financial funding and we cannot make any commitments upfront.

Any questions about financial assistance should be directed to Thomas J. Hwang, Under-Secretary-General for Finance, at finance@hnmun.org.
