High school seniors must meet one of the following two criteria in order to be eligible to apply to SFHC: 

(a) have a minimum 3.8 GPA in grades 9-11, or

 (b) be in the upper 10 percent of their graduating class (as verified by their counselor) 

FHC is unique in the California State University system because, each Fall, 50 President’s Honors Scholars are admitted as a cohort whose members take a series of specially designed honors courses, participate in a weekly colloquium with guest speakers and discussions, and interact in educational, scholarly, and social activities.  In addition, President’s Scholars are required to volunteer a minimum of 70 hours of community service during their 4-year stay.  Each admitted scholar will receive a President’s Honors Scholarship of $3,000 per semester (for a total of 8 semesters) to pursue undergraduate studies of their choice, in addition to the cost of a standard dorm room if they choose to live on campus. To remain in the program, a Scholar must enroll in at least 12 units each semester and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 in first year, 3.35 in the second year, and 3.50 in third and fourth years.
