Travel funding
If you’re a student who wants to attend the MobileHCI 2020 and need help funding your travel, you can apply for one of the following travel grants:
Gary Marsden Student Development Fund
In recognition of Gary Marsden’s contributions and inspiration in HCI4D, ACM SIGCHI established Gary Marsden Student Development Fund in July 2015. The purpose is to support growth of HCI in developing worlds by sponsoring SIGCHI student members who are postgraduate students from and currently based in developing countries to attend HCI relevant events. For those who are currently not student members of SIGCHI, you can apply online to become a member before submitting the application.

Note: The application submission deadlines are 15th of February, May, August and November each year.
SIGCHI Student Travel Grant
The SIGCHI Student Travel Grant (SSTG) program is intended to enable students who lack other support opportunities to attend CHI and other SIGCHI sponsored or co-sponsored conferences. This travel grant is intended to support students whose intention is to present at MobileHCI 2020, not just attend. The goal is to pre-approve students for grants before a conference’s earliest submission deadline so that if a student gets a submission accepted, that student can count on having a grant awarded for travel to the conference.
