What a pleasant surprise it was to open the mail yesterday and find a college graduation announcement for Matthew P., one of the very first CSF Scholars back in 1999.

Matthew is graduating this Friday from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, and now he plans to go on to law school!

His very proud mother, Monica, wanted to make sure we were up to date on his progress. In her words: “CSF played a major part in the man he has become. Thank you.”

Congratulations, Matthew! We are very proud of you and all the CSF Scholars who are graduating this year.
