The first step to receiving financial aid from Cal Poly Humboldt is filling out a Financial Aid application. Whether you are an undergraduate, credential, or graduate student, any student interested in receiving financial assistance from the federal and/or state governments must submit a free application for aid in order for eligibility to be determined.
