NHS/CSF
CSF California Scholarship Federation (CSF) emphasizes high
standards of service, scholarship, and citizenship for California high
school students. CSF encourages service to the school and community
while fostering pride in scholastic achievement.
Membership in
CSF is by semester in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades and is based upon
academic standing and service to school and/or community. In order to
become a member, the student must submit an application each semester
the student is eligible. A point system specified in the CSF State
By-Laws establishes the membership requirements. To secure eligibility
for CSF membership, a student must earn sufficient points from
pre-approved course lists. The majority of the required membership
points must come from University of California accepted course work.
Life
Membership (Sealbearer) is achieved by qualifying for chapter
membership for four or more semesters in the last three years of high
school, and earns the CSF gold seal on diplomas and transcripts. Each
year colleges and universities throughout the United States award
scholarships to CSF Life (Sealbearer) Members.

membership by a five member Faculty Council. Candidates must meet the
chapter's requirement for scholarship, service, leadership and
character in order to be selected for membership. Continued
participation in service projects is required to retain membership.
