The Center for Scholars
The Center for Scholars serves a remarkable group of resilient and ambitious students that come from diverse backgrounds. From their first day on campus, they are encouraged to get involved and become integral and well-rounded leaders in the Titan community. Our Titans achieve their academic goals and develop the confidence and skills to become effective leaders, cohesive team members and inspiring role models.
Being a Scholar in the Center for Scholars is a commitment. Each program has specific requirements and expectations designed to ensure Scholars remain engaged, accountable, and fully benefit from the opportunities available. Through active participation and dedication, Scholars uphold the values of the Center, develop essential skills and connections, and prepare to thrive academically, personally, and professionally at CSUF and beyond.
