Pricing & Forms
Regular Registration Fees

Delegate fee (per delegate): $130
These fees may only be paid via PayPal or mailed check.
Delegation Late Fee
Delegation late fee (school fee): $50
Delegation fees must be submitted by October 6 to avoid the late fee.
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 (coming soon) or let us know if you think your students might qualify. Questions regarding financial aid should be sent to the current Treasurer, Liron Chan, at treasurer@yalemodelcongress.org.
Financial Aid
Delegates may apply for financial aid only to cover the $130 delegate fee. The financial aid application must be submitted by October 13 at 11:59 pm ET for Round I applications and October 20 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 19 at 11:59 pm ET for Round I applications and October 24 at 11:59 pm ET 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.
