The CSF has received consistent support and recognition by the Croatian community, not only in California but across the US and in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Several CSF students have been recognized for their outstanding leadership and accomplishments and their commitment to help other Croatian students. The CSF believes that its efforts to help young Croatian students is paying off. Each year funds are generated for the scholarship program through private donations and other activities and events. CSF estimates that currently there are approximately a dozen benefactors.
Some benefactors fund as many as six students per year.
Each year, the CSF recognizes its many benefactors, contributors, and volunteers, all of whom serve on a volunteer basis and for no compensation, by holding an Annual Dinner-Dance in the San Francisco Bay Area. The event helps raise funds for the program and enables Croatian-Americans to share in the success of the CSF program. The CSF Executive Board also pays special recognition to Croatian-Americans who have made a significant contribution to the promotion of Croatian culture or for professional or personal accomplishments and for other noteworthy achievements. The CSF greatly appreciates past support, strongly believes the scholarship program will serve as a model throughout the United States, and that the energy and efforts to fund the program are time and money well spent. We urge your continued support in helping these young people to determine their own destiny and Croatia's future in the years ahead.
