HMCA strongly believes that financial backgrounds should NOT prevent engaged and interested students from practicing public speaking, learning about government, and making new friends. Thus, HMCA is proud to offer both full scholarships as well as partial scholarships. For more information about scholarships, please visit the scholarships page at www.hmcasia.org/scholarship-information.

After registration and payment are confirmed, you will receive your committee and role assignments. Additionally, you will gain access to pre-conference training materials to begin preparing for the conference.
Should I register as…
AN Independent Delegate
Students should register as an independent delegate if they are one of the only students attending the conference from their school.
Independent Delegate Registration
The independent delegate fee covers the entire conference experience, access to pre-conference training materials, and two lunches during the conference.
The deadline to pay the independent delegate fee is November 1, 2024. If you do not meet this deadline, you must pay the late independent delegate fee by December 1, 2024.
Once students have successfully registered and paid their independent delegate fee, students will be assigned their conference committees and roles. Additionally, students will gain access to the pre-conference training materials.

LATE INDEPENDENT DELEGATE FEE: $400
a school
Schools should register for the conference when multiple students (four or more) come from the same school.
School Registration
Each school is responsible for a single “school fee” that is paid immediately upon registration which secures your school’s spot in the conference. This fee includes the participation of up to two faculty advisers per school.
In addition to the school fee, schools must pay a school delegate fee for every student that attends the conference. The school delegate fee covers the entire conference experience, access to pre-conference training materials, and two lunches during the conference.
Schools must pay the school fee upon registration to confirm a spot in the conference, but can wait to pay the school delegate fees at a later date up until November 1, 2024. The late deadline for school delegate fees is December 1,2024. Roles will not be assigned until the school fee and delegate fee are both paid.
SCHOOL FEE: $200 per school
School DELEGATE FEE: $335 per student
LATE School DELEGATE FEE: $360 per student
