Instructions for Financial Assistance
The application for financial assistance has changed significantly this year. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure that you and your delegation are able to submit all required documents and information prior to the applicable deadline.
1. Please note that this application is intended for only delegations and delegates who have already registered for HNMUN 2024. For more information about registration, please visit the “How to Apply” page.
2. Prior to beginning your application, you should read the Guide to Fundraising, which is linked below. The document will provide you with an understanding of the financial requirements that the HNMUN 2024 conference presents, and will help you ensure that you have exhausted as many financial resources as are available to you prior to applying for Financial Assistance.
3. To begin your application, you must read the Terms and Conditions of Financial Assistance, which are contained within the Financial Assistance Application Guidebook linked below. By completing and submitting an application for financial assistance, you and your delegation are confirming that you understand and agree to these terms and conditions, which supplement the Conference Policies provided during the registration process.
4. Next, you should complete the Delegation Financial Assistance Application. This application must be completed by ALL delegations, including individual delegations. The application consists of several components: (a) cover letter or cover letter video, (b) supplemental response questions, and (c) budget proposal and supporting documentation; these components are described in more detail later in this document, and have not changed from previous years. The application should be completed as a delegation (i.e. each delegation should only submit one application), typically by the Faculty Advisor or the Head Delegate.
5. Finally, individual delegates should complete the Individual Financial Assistance Application, which is optional, but strongly recommended (this is in addition to the Delegation Financial Assistance Application in Step 4). The Secretariat has decided to develop this new Application for HNMUN 2024, recognizing that individual students within a delegation may face significantly different financial circumstances. This Application allows individual delegates to describe their financial situation in greater detail. Each delegate should complete their own application individually (e.g. HNMUN will expect a delegation with five delegates to have up to five separate form submissions). While completing the Application, individual delegates should not consult with other members of their delegations.
6. The Delegation Financial Assistance Application and the Individual Financial Assistance Application are due on the following dates:
1 November 2023 for all domestic delegations
1 November 2023 for all international delegations
7. After you submit your application, please refer to the Next Steps section of the Financial Assistance Application Guidebook for additional information.
