Financial Aid

At ILMUNC, we aim to attract a wide range of students with diverse backgrounds to our conference. However, we are also cognizant of the financial burden attached to attending our conference. Conference fees, transportation, and rooming can add up and be financially unfeasible for certain delegations. We are firm believers that these economic barriers should not inhibit students’ ability to attend our conference and learn about international affairs. In light of this, ILMUNC is proud to announce that it will continue to offer its scholarship program for ILMUNC XLIII, aimed at helping delegates who have difficulty obtaining the necessary funds to attend the conference.

To apply for financial aid, indicate on the registration form that your delegation would like to apply for financial aid and answer the questions that follow by October 31st, 2026. ILMUNC encourages delegations to indicate how many delegates they are seeking to support through financial aid. Please ensure that your school can and will attend ILMUNC XLIII before you submit your application. If selected, ILMUNC will waive school, delegate, and FA fees. Please feel free to reach out to our Director-General at dg@ilmunc.org with any questions.

ILMUNC XLIII will also select one delegation for the Liberty Bell Scholarship, where the delegation will receive a full-ride, which includes transportation, hotel accommodation, and registration fees for the school, delegates, and FAs. The Liberty Bell Scholarship is eligible only to US school delegations in the Northeast that demonstrate financial need. If a delegation is not selected for the Liberty Bell Scholarship, the delegation is still eligible for non-scholarship financial assistance. Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee financial aid to all who apply.

To help alleviate the financial burden of attending ILMUNC, we encourage students and delegations to explore fundraising opportunities through their high school Model United Nations programs. Our team has developed an ILMUNC Fundraising Guide featuring practical fundraising strategies, cost-saving tips, and resources to help delegations offset expenses associated with attending the conference, including transportation and accommodations.

For additional questions regarding fundraising or financial planning, please reach out to our Chief Financial Officer at cfo@ilmunc.org.
