We are inviting Fellows from the previous cohorts to reapply if interested. Returning Fellows apply here. We are also seeking applications for new Fellows. This application is for new applicants only.

Cal Poly Humboldt and College of the Redwoods are excited to open applications for the third cohort of College Corps #CaliforniansForAll Fellowship. Each College Corps Fellow is placed with a local community non-profit organization that is focused on building a stronger and more resilient society. Accepted Fellows must commit to serve a total of 450 hours between August 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025 (an average of 15 hours per week, and a minimum of 45 hours/month). In exchange, they will receive a $7,000 living stipend, excellent work experience, plus a $3,000 Education Award upon successful completion. Applications will be accepted until all spots are filled.

Fellows will be required to attend a Matching Fair on Thursday, April 25th from 3-6 pm in LIB_202A (Author's Hall on Cal Poly Humboldt Campus) during which they will introduce themselves to Community Partner sites and network with incoming Cohort 3 Fellows.

Fellow Applications for Cohort 3 have a priority deadline of Friday, March 22, 2024. We will continue to take applications after March 22nd, but once our cohort is filled, applicants will be added to the waitlist.

If you have any questions, please email the College Corps Team, Shalom Fletcher & Gino Pitino at collegecorps@humboldt.edu or check out our webpage.

Note: The AY 24/25 FAFSA and CADAA will be available to complete by the end of December 2023. This is a requirement, even if you think you do not qualify for either of them, for Financial Aid to determine your financial need and eligibility for our program.

All Fellows will have to present their FAFSA or CADAA application confirmation number at the time of applying or during the interview process.

Our application is open and highly encouraged for AB-540 Dreamers to apply!
