Each of the below fellowships is granted for a one year term, renewable for a second year of study at the discretion of the selection committee. Further information on these fellowships can be found here.

 Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) - ETaP and ERE students from the states listed below are eligible to attend Humboldt while paying "in-state" fees. For students from eligible states outside of California, this reduces the cost of graduate education considerably (see the Financial Services page for more information about the fee levels - students from eligible WRGP states do not need to pay the "Nonresident Tuition Fee"). Students from eligible states should indicate their interest to access the WRGP rate when they apply (e.g. by including a sentence about this in their application essay). Eligible states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
