How much is the conference fee?

$100 USD per delegate. 

Should I register as a delegation or an individual?

If you are attending YMAU with other students from your high school or university, you should apply as a delegation. Your delegation leader will create a registration account and submit the name, email, and age of each student attending YMAU from your school.

If you are the only student from your high school/university attending YMAU, you should apply as an individual. 

Am I required to have an advisor?

If you are under the age of 18, you are required to have an advisor. An advisor is a teacher, parent, or other trusted guardian who will supervise your time at YMAU. If you are applying as a delegation, and one or more members of your delegation is under the age of 18, you must bring one advisor for the whole group. If you are applying as an individual, you must bring one advisor.

Who qualifies as a delegation leader?

If you are required to bring an advisor to YMAU, your advisor should serve as the delegation leader in your registration account. 

Delegations of students over the age of 18 can choose you Model UN club’s head delegate or any other student to serve as the delegation leader. If you are applying as an individual and are over the age of 18, you may serve as your own delegation leader.
