History of CSF
History of CSF
The California Scholarship Federation (CSF) was founded in 1921 by Charles F. Seymour. Other than Phi Beta Kappa, CSF is the oldest honor society in California. Eligibility for membership is based solely on a student's academic excellence. The Colusa Chapter of CSF was founded in 1924 and has been honoring outstanding Colusa High School graduates ever since.
