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 registration 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.

NWMUN began offering scholarships and discounts in 2012, and our offerings are somewhat limited. However, we expand these options each year as the conference grows, and simultaneously keep our overall fee structure low to create an affordable opportunity for all attendees.

New Northwest Team Discount (for delegations)

Eligibility: If your team is attending NWMUN-Seattle for the first time, and is based in the Pacific Northwest, your delegation will receive this discount.

("The Pacific Northwest," for purposes of this discount, means if the campus is located in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Western Montana, or Southern British Columbia.)

Discount: New teams are entitled to $5 off of delegate fees for each participant they bring.

(This discount will be applied to the delegate fees invoice.)

How To Get This Discount: Simply let us know in your Delegation Request Form that your team is new to NWMUN-Seattle and we'll apply this discount to your delegate fees!
