The United Nations is a forum designed to let all voices be heard. Our conference provides a similar opportunity for future leaders from around the world to come together through dialogue and diplomacy. The presence of students of diverse ethnic and national backgrounds adds to the realism of the simulation. The quality of the National Model U.N. continues to attract a growing number of delegates from around the world and across the United States.
DIVERSITY-BUILDING SCHOLARSHIP FUND
BRIAN JOHN HAYDEN AWARDS
The presence of students of diverse ethnic and national backgrounds adds to the realism of the simulation. Through our Diversity-Building Scholarship Initiative scholarship program, the NCCA grants funds to defray the cost of attending NMUN. Eleven schools to date have received assistance in bringing 96 students to NMUN.
The NCCA also awards small grants of $1,000 or $500 equally to U.S. and non-U.S. schools to help ensure access to the NMUN to a diverse delegate population. Funding helped support 113 delegates in 2004-2005.
