About the Program

The Harvard Model United Nations China (HMUN China) is an annual conference taking place in Guangzhou, China. The retained historical 2026 conference (sixteenth session) dates are August 15–18, 2026. It aims to encourage high school students globally to engage in meaningful debate on current and emerging issues, fostering creative and collaborative solutions. The program welcomes delegates from various countries and provides a supportive environment, especially for those new to Model UN or English-speaking conferences.

Checked November 3, 2026: the official terms page links the 2026 terms PDF, which confirms the August 15–18 conference, May 1 / July 15 / August 5 registration deadlines, eligibility and listed fees. The liability-waiver page gives an August 10, 2026 waiver deadline. The homepage and application page were not readable during this check. The stored March 5 opening and financial-aid availability were not independently reverified. The next conference dates and application window remain unverified.

The older record described fee waivers up to the $580 delegate fee. That stored claim is preserved here as unverified historical context; it is not represented as confirmed aid or full funding in structured fields.

Eligibility

Students are recommended to be accompanied by a faculty advisor. Teachers, university students, parents, administrators, and other adults 18 years of age or older are eligible to serve as faculty advisors. Any individual who is eligible to participate at HMUN China as a delegate is ineligible to serve as a faculty advisor. Applicants must be 13 years of age or older. Enrolled in 7th - 12th grade during the time of the conference. College students are not eligible to apply as a delegate.
