CSF seeks to bring recognition to students that have demonstrated a level of success academically.  Students must apply at the beginning of each semester using the previous semester's grades. The option to submit volunteer hours is available for those that have demonstrated a level of success while serving their community. Please see Active vs. Inactive status. Note: This status can change from semester to semester. Upon graduation, if the student is deemed a Life Member (Sealbearer), the student is awarded a Seal of the California Scholarship Federation for their High School Diploma, and recognition on high school transcript. Optional purchases of Honor Stole and Cords are made available in the spring for Seniors that qualify for Sealbearers, these may be worn during graduation ceremony.
