Dear Advisor,

One of your students has applied for the Berkeley Model United Nations Alumni Scholarship. In order for their scholarship application to be considered complete, both the Student Application, submitted by the student, and this School Advisor Recommendation form, completed by their advisor, must be submitted in order for the student to be considered for financial aid. Since applications are considered on a rolling basis, this Advisor Recommendation form should be submitted as soon as convenient to give the student the best possible chance of receiving aid.

Berkeley Model United Nations (BMUN) is a non-profit organization on the UC Berkeley campus dedicated to continuing its seven decades of excellence as the world’s premier — and very first — Model UN conference. Over 2,000 students attend the conference every year to improve their public speaking and policy debate skills.

The BMUN Secretariat and Alumni are dedicated to providing financial aid to students, who cannot afford to attend the conference. Individual delegates can apply for this assistance to cover the cost of delegate fees.
