Seymour Memorial Award
California Scholarship Federation (CSF)
About
One of California's highest high school scholastic honors: CSF advisers nominate senior Sealbearers, 50 finalists statewide receive $2,000 and five regional winners receive an additional $3,000. Selection is based on character, leadership and service, with in-person regional interviews. Also required: must be nominated by your school's CSF adviser (max two per chapter).
