California
Scholarship Federation is a membership
organization which has as its aim high
scholastic achievement and service to
the community. Since its founding in 1921,
CSF has upheld the ideals of honoring outstanding
students. Fresno High School has had a chapter
since 1946, representing the academic achievements
of our school.
Membership is neither automatic nor required. The
application period is during the first 3-4 weeks of
each semester. No late applications are
accepted.
Semester members are those whose grades and
citizenship from the previous semester meet
the eligibility standards and who apply during the
enrollment period. CSF encourages all students to
strive for excellence. Those who earn membership
and are members for at least four of their six
semesters from sophomore through senior years (one
must be during their senior year) attain Life
Membership and become what is know as Seal
Bearers, meaning that gold seals are affixed to
their diplomas. The students are also awarded
"lamp" pins, honored to lead the graduates, and
wear gold cords during the graduation
ceremony.

Many of
our Seal Bearers find their CSF Life
Membership advantageous in gaining scholarships
and seeking college/university acceptance.
Universities also like to see community service as
well as excellent scholarship on the application;
the Fresno High CSF chapter tries to help students
become active not only in school events but in
Fresno as a whole. We also offer college campus
tours to expose students to the range of choices of
colleges/universities within California and
college-related
information.
