Overview
When the Metro Detroit Model United Nations Organization (MeDMUN) has money in excess of 2-times its budget for the previous 2-years, MeDMUN will open an application which will allow current high school students to apply to receive a grant to defray the cost of attending another Model UN-related experience. These experiences can be Model UN-leadership conferences or, more typically, a traditional Model UN Conference. Money can be used to pay for delegate fees or hotel costs for the participant. In order to receive a grant, a high school must be able to receive and accept the money on behalf of the student in an account explicitly for its Model UN Team.
Amount
Grant awards will be up to $500. The amount awarded will be based on the number of applications and the availability of funds.
Eligibility
- The grant will be used to attend/participate in Model UN-related activity
- The delegate is on a high school Model UN team
- The delegate has a financial need for the grant
- The delegate’s Model UN team can directly receive the grant
- The delegate’s Model UN team has attended a conference or event organized by the MeDMUN organization
