How to Apply

CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION (10TH-12TH GRADE)

PURPOSE: RECOGNITION OF ACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Requirements for Semester Membership: The student must apply for membership during an enrollment period established by the advisor during the first four weeks of the semester. Applications can be found online on the Montclair CSF webpage. The application is based upon a point system and students must earn 10 points minimum in order to qualify. A=3 points, B=1 point with no grades lower than a C. (AP and Honors courses get one extra point, but a student may only have up to two extra points.) Students must qualify four semesters, one being during their senior year, in order to become a life member and wear a white gown at graduation.

When: Applications are available at the beginning of each semester. There is a one month window to get your application and transcripts/grades to Mrs. Adamiak. CSF is not retroactive. If you miss a semester you cannot go back and apply for a semester in the past.

Fees: There is a $8.00 fee per semester. The fees pay for CSF dues, seal, CSF pins, and gold tassel.
