I would say that it is polar. The shape of the molecule is tetrahedral with the C in the middle and the H and three F single bonded to it.

//H

FCF

//F

The electronegativity of H is 2.20 (according to Wikipedia) and the electronegativity of F is 3.98. An electronegativity difference of over 0.5 is considered to be a polar covelent bond. The difference in this molocule is 0.78. (3.98-2.20=0.78)
