CIEE Model UN Grants
Exclusive Opportunity for NAIMUN LXII Delegates
Take Your First Steps on the Global Stage
Headed to NAIMUN LXII? This year, your trip to D.C. could earn you a grant to study abroad! CIEE is partnering with NAIMUN LXII to offer $10,000 in study abroad grants to the best performing delegates at the conference. Valid on any CIEE Global Navigator High School Summer Abroad program, these grants can be combined with a standard CIEE scholarship for qualifying students and take you to some of the most exciting destinations in the world!
Whether you follow your passion for international relations and pick a “Diplomacy & Peace” program in Europe or South-East Asia or choose to study a world language or topic like business, the arts or marine science, you’re in for a fun-filled summer and an experience that will expand your skillset and worldview in ways only study abroad can.
The grand winner will earn $5,000, and five runners-up will each earn $1,000 towards the CIEE Global Navigator High School Summer Abroad program of their choice.
