California Junior Scholarship Federation Award

CJSF Applications for Membership time has ended for applications.

The next window will be in January for both 7th and 8th grade (from the 1st semester of Fall 2024).

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 THUNDERBIRD AWARD is the highest, most prestigious award a student may earn at Kastner Intermediate School. The honor is available to seventh and eighth grade students and is awarded at the end of the year at the Principal's Award Reception.

To earn the THUNDERBIRD AWARD, a student must accrue a minimum of points in four distinct categories:
