What is CSF?
California Scholarship Federation (CSF) is a statewide organization to honor outstanding high school students. As a scholarship society, its focus is rooted in foundations of academic achievement and community service. Students must maintain rigorous eligibility standards each semester in order to qualify for membership. CSF membership is recognized by institutions nationwide as an academic honor. Seniors who meet eligibility requirements for four semesters may qualify for CSF Lifetime Membership, a prestigious academic achievement. For more information, please visit theCSF website.
