Question 2

What are the fees for?

Accepted Answer

Fees are used to pay state registration fees, administrative costs, the Scholars' Banquet to honor the graduating life members, CSF rewards and awards, and certificates. No student will be denied CSF membership due to a lack of funds. Students which have demonstrated financial need can contact Ms. Loo in room G-116 about a special fee waiver.

Question 3

Do members need to attend weekly meetings?

Accepted Answer

While CSF does not hold weekly or monthly meetings like typical clubs, we do occasionally hold member meetings for important announcements and executive elections. CSF requires that its members attend all mandatory meetings and encourages members to attend optional meetings. These meetings will be announced beforehand.

Question 4

Do members need to do community service?

Accepted Answer

CSF’s motto is “Scholarship for Service”. You should provide proof of a minimum of 6 hours of community service each time you submit an application. If you are unable to do this, you will be prompted to explain why. Additionally, CSF requires that you input the contact information of someone associated with that community service, such as a project manager or director.  CSF reserves the right to audit applications to ensure that its members maintain academic honestly in all regards.

Question 5

I'm a transfer student and I'd like to use grades from my previous school to apply for Westview CSF. Can I do that?

Accepted Answer

Yes, transfer students are allowed to apply to Westview CSF during application cycles. However, you will have to fill out a special paper form instead of the online application. To do this, please visit Ms. Loo in room G-116 to be guided through the transfer application process.

Question 6

I'm apart of a club or organization and I'd like to reach out to CSF members to advertise an opportunity. How can I do this?

Accepted Answer

First, make a post in the General Discussion tab on the Student Forum. If you would also like to inquire about having your opportunity be sent out through our emailing list or be featured on our website, please contact us directly.
