Is an advisor required to be on campus during the duration of the conference?

Per the policy of Stanford University at least one advisor is required per delegation. All advisors must be 18 or older by the start of the conference. The advisor does not have to be the club advisor and may be a parent chaperone, as long as they are willing to take liability & responsibility for the entire delegation throughout the conference. Advisors are required to be on campus for the entire duration of the conference. There will be no exceptions allowed. We will be holding advisor meetings during committee sessions that are required and attendance will be taken.

Can I participate in SMUNC virtually?

SMUNC will take place completely in-person on Stanford’s campus.

Is financial aid available for SMUNC?

To broaden access to Model UN and to give back to the Model UN community, SMUNC is happy to provide a limited amount of need-based financial aid for delegations coming from under-resourced backgrounds.

Financial aid was disbursed on a rolling basis. Applications have since closed for financial aid and all available financial aid has been disbursed. We welcome delegations to join us for SMUNC this year if they are still available to.

I am an international student. How can SMUNC support my visa application?

SMUNC may furnish a letter of invitation to international delegates applying for visa. After delegates have registered for SMUNC, delegates may email secgen@smunc.org with the following details: (1) address of the delegation, (2) full name (as per passport), (3) school, (4) country of origin.
