The California Scholarship Federation (known as CSF) is a state-wide organization whose purpose is to recognize students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement. Qualifying for membership is on a semester basis following a point system which requires A's and B's in the most difficult classes. To become a lifetime member (Sealbearer), students must have qualified for 4 semesters during their last 3 years of high school, including 1 semester in the senior year.

FAQs can be found here. If after thoroughly reading both documents, there are follow-up questions, email them to samohiacademichonorsocieties@gmail.com (from your personal email, not SMMK12 email).
