Scholarships/Discounts

Model United Nations is an experience that is valuable to anyone who participates in it. Northwest Model United Nations is committed to ensuring that anyone can participate in Model United Nations, regardless of socioeconomic status. Whether students or teams are from low-income areas, are not funded by their college or university, or just need a little extra help this year to ensure they can attend, NWMUN is committed to doing what we can to make this opportunity possible for anyone.

In order to receive any of the discounts or scholarships mentioned below, please first fill out the registration request form and pay the initial $50 fee. Then submit the applications linked to below (if applicable), and we will respond to confirm the application, and later, to inform applicants of the result of their application.
