As always, YMC can subsidize the cost of the delegate fee for students expressing need. To apply for financial aid, please fill out the financial aid application (opening on October 1st) or let us know if you think your students might qualify. Questions regarding financial aid should be sent to the current Treasurer, Olivia Xu, at treasurer@yalemc.org
Financial Aid
Delegates may apply for financial aid only to cover the delegate fee. The financial aid application opens on October 1st, and it must be submitted by October 7th at 11:59 pm ET for Round I applications and October 16th at 11:59 pm ET for Round II applications. Upon submission, please check your email for confirmation. If you do not receive confirmation that we have received your application, then we have not received it and you will not be considered for financial aid.
Financial Aid Decision Process
Yale Model Congress will decide financial aid awards by October 13th for Round I applications and October 20th for Round II applications at the latest and notify applicants and their advisors of our decision by email. Decisions are based on demonstrated need. Depending on the delegate’s application, we may award partial or full delegate fee waivers.
