CSF: California Scholarship Federation - Chapter 1271 s

What is CSF | Application Form | FAQs | ASB Home

Attention 10th, 11th, and 12th graders
We are now accepting CSF applications for the Fall 2008 semester!

Please bring your report cards from Spring term of last year, a check or cash for $10, and a completed application to Room K103 during lunch any Friday in September. Officers will be available to answer questions and help students complete the application on those Fridays.

We are now giving our CSF members a membership card when they submit their application. This serves as a receipt and should be kept at home as verification that the student is a CSF member for that term since member lists will not be posted online.

Westview HS is an official chapter of the California Scholarship Federation!

CSF is a statewide organization that recognizes high academic performance. Students who qualify for membership for at least 4 semesters, one of which must be based on senior year grades, become a CSF Life Member. We honor our graduating CSF Life Members at an end of the year banquet, during which we present each student with a certificate and their CSF gold cord, an honor cord that they can wear proudly at graduation. In addition, his/her HS diploma will have the official CSF gold seal. There are also a few financial scholarships awarded by the CSF central office. Primarily, this is one of those things that makes students feel great about their academic achievements AND looks good on the college applications.

So, please encourage all students to fill out and submit an application each semester. At the time they submit the application, they must have proof of their grades, either in the form of a report card OR a copy of their transcript. There is a fee of $10 per semester. These fees go towards the costs of the gold cords, certificates, the banquet, and registration fees. Checks may be written out to Westview HS – with the name of the student in the memo section.

10th, 11th, and 12th graders may submit an application EVERY semester, during the first month, on Fridays at lunch in Ms. Loo’s room (K-103). Membership for a given semester is based on the grades earned from the previous semester. For example, for membership in CSF for Fall 2008, students will use their grades from Spring 2008, Quarters 3 and 4. Please see the application form for details of requirements for membership.

CSF membership is voluntary and it is the responsibility of the student to submit the application EVERY semester

Please see the Westview HS website for information and applications. Look under ASB Organizations, CA Scholarship Federation. Any further questions can be answered at the Friday meetings so just send them our way!!
