Oct. 1 also marks the time students can start applying for financial aid for next fall, using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA helps determine eligibility for various types of state and federal aid, and applying early is a good idea.
At HSU, 70 percent of students receive some form of financial aid (state and federal grants, institutional aid, subsidized loans, etc.). Most students who qualify as “low-income” receive about $10,000 in grant funding.
Detailed information on applying to HSU is at admissions.humboldt.edu, and applicants will use the Cal State Apply system to complete the online application.
HSU is also hosting Fall Preview on Friday, Oct. 27, 2017. It’s a one-day open house that offers students and families a chance to learn more about Humboldt State and everything it has to offer.
