Early Registration for Parent Scholars
To qualify, you must have at least one dependent child who is currently under the age of 18 for which you will provide more than half of their financial support.
If you meet the above criteria, log into your myHumboldt, open Student Center, and select ‘My Personal Information’ and ‘Dependents’ from the drop down menu. You will then be asked to provide your youngest dependent(s) date of birth.
The above process must be completed by Friday, October 13 in order to receive early registration for the Spring 2024 semester. If you miss this deadline, you can still submit your self-certification so you can receive early registration for the next available term.
BenefitsCAL- CalFresh, CalWORKs, Medi-Cal
One application; three programs. You can apply for food, cash, and health care with a single application.
It takes an average of 30-minutes to complete an application. Plus, you can start and save an application if you need more time
We want you to get the support you need. Between homework, working, and family, we know you have lots of priorities that you’re managing. Getting food, cash, and/or health care coverage could be one less thing on your mind. That means you’ll have more time to focus on your educational goals!
