[1] After the conference, each Top 25 Senior will receive a letter explaining how to apply for the scholarship. It will include the deadline and instructions for:
- Applying to UM
- Once accepted to UM, applying for BOTH of the following scholarships:
- Bess Reed and Dallas J. Reed Memorial Model United Nations Scholarship
- Minnie Spurgin Fullam Montana Model United Nations Scholarship
[2] The Top 6-25 Seniors will receive a scholarship if they follow the instructions in Footnote 1 before the deadline and there are unclaimed scholarships. Reserve scholarships will be awarded in the order listed above. In recent years, at least half of the Top 25 Seniors have been offered a scholarship, so we encourage all Top 25 Seniors to apply.
