Congratulations 2019-2020 Seymour Finalists!

The Seymour Memorial Awards were established to honor both Charles F. Seymour and his devoted wife, Marian H. Seymour, who together supplied the inspiration and leadership which fostered the California Scholarship Federation. The Seymour Award is regarded as one of the highest scholastic honors given to high school students in the state of California. This award recognizes excellence in academics and service to school and community.

Region recipients were not selected for the 2019-2020 Seymour Award due to COIVD-19 restrictions causing the cancellation of all region interviews and conferences.
