Financial Assistance
EOP/SSS students who are eligible may receive an EOP grant. Additionally, EOP/SSS students may receive an SSS grant during their freshman year. To be considered, you must apply for federal financial aid.
EOP Grants: Eligibility for an EOP grant at Humboldt is based on the students' expected family contribution (EFC) and their class level. EOP grants are awarded only as long as funds are available. EOP students with Freshmen and Sophomore class standing are considered for grants of up to $1,000; Newly admitted transfer students are also considered for grants of up to $500.
You will have a much better chance of receiving an EOP grant and other financial aid for which you are eligible if you apply early in January. EOP grants are awarded based on information provided on the FAFSA. No additional application is required for EOP grant consideration.
SSS Grants: Eligibility for an SSS grant at Humboldt is based on SSS program eligibility, Pell Grant eligibility, financial need, and class standing.

SSS grants are awarded based on FAFSA and Humboldt's Financial Aid Office information. No additional application is required for SSS grant consideration.
