The mission of CCSF is to raise funds and distribute scholarships to graduating high school students. These funds support their further education at vocational - technical schools, colleges, or universities. For many students, this is the first time they might receive public recognition for their personal efforts both at school and in the community. Since its inception in 1973, CCSF has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars to students who have demonstrated academic excellence, community service, and extra-curricular achievement.
