Thanks to the generosity of donors and the Humboldt Area Foundation, we hit our goal, raising over $20,000 in June to support HSU Dreamers! The campaign is over, but you can still give in support of the HSU dreamers through this page. Thank you for helping ensure all HSU students can achieve their dreams!

Through June 30, 2020, all gifts to support HSU California Dream Act students were doubled, thanks to a matching $10,000 grant from Humboldt Area Foundation.

Gifts will help undocumented HSU students offset the loss of wages, secure housing, and afford basic needs during this time. HSU Dreamer students are among the students who do not qualify to receive the federal CARES support in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. While the state of California has granted funds to support Dreamer students, the funding is limited. Donors and the Humboldt Area Foundation are stepping up to fill the gap left in this funding.

Prior to the impact of COVID-19, undocumented students already faced unimaginable challenges in their pursuit of higher education. In addition to the emotional upheaval of adjusting to life in an unfamiliar country, undocumented students have few options when it comes to paying for college. Though many of these students grow up in the American K-12 school system, they still don't qualify for basic Federal Student Aid. Vital support from donors helps ensure that Dreamer students are able to stay in school and achieve a HSU diploma, especially during this crucial time.

Today, give to the Humboldt Dreamers and support HSU students in achieving their dreams of graduating from HSU!
