California Scholarship Federation (CSF)
What is CSF and why should I join?
The California Scholarship Federation or CSF is open to all students who meet the minimum, academic requirements (see membership). Students must reapply for membership every semester by presenting their report card for grade verification .
Students who sign-up and qualify for membership to CSF for four semesters in their Sophomore, Junior and Senior years (one semester must be in the Senior year) are declared seal bearers. Seal bearers receive awards at graduation and are allowed to wear the gold CSF cord and lamp pin at Commencement exercises. Students who sign-up and qualify for all six semesters receive an additional honor of being a 100% member.
Freshmen may apply for CSF during their first semester at Crenshaw HS STEMM Magnet by proving membership in CJSF from their previous school. This is usually verified by showing their diploma with the gold CJSF seal affixed on it. Freshmen are considered “honorary” until they have received grades at the high school level.
MEMBERSHIP:
Students must apply for membership at the beginning of each semester. Membership is determined by the grades earned in the preceding semester, i.e. Spring 2021 membership is earned with Fall 2020 grades. The minimum, academic requirements for membership are:
10 points from the following scale:
