CJSF Applications for Membership 

Currently being accepted for both 7th and 8th grade students ONLY: January 27, 2025 thru January 31, 2025. 

One of the highest academic honors that students can earn in secondary school is the California  Junior Scholarship Federation award. The CJSF is a nationwide honor society recognized by  companies & institutions that, in some instances, have been known to award scholarships. The  CJSF is an academic membership to which students must apply. 

Membership is for the semester following the grade period. There are no retroactive  memberships given. Membership must be renewed each semester. To earn the official Honor  Membership Pin, students must have been a member of CJSF at least three times during their  tenure at Kastner. 

 

The grades used to apply for this semester membership are from your previous 1st  semester report card for the 24-25 school year. The last day to submit your application for membership is January 31, 2025, 3:00 PM.
