Cornerstone Capital Financial Group is pleased to offer a $1,000 Scholarship to a graduating student from Brant, Haldimand, Six Nations, or Norfolk County.
Up to $1,000 will be awarded to one or more graduating students pursuing post-secondary education at a recognized institute, College, University, or Apprenticeship in Ontario. The scholarship will provide financial assistance to help with educational fees and or the cost of books.
To be eligible for the scholarship, the graduating student must have successfully completed a minimum of one business class at the grades 11 or 12 level and submit an essay of no more than 500 words, answering the following question: “How would you use $100,000 to benefit your community?”. All eligible students who submit an application for the Cornerstone Community Scholarship and are planning to continue their education in September at a recognized post-secondary institution in Ontario will be eligible to apply for the scholarship.
Last year's recipient Doug Archer shared the following about his first year attending the University of Guelph, “One of my favourite memories of my first year was participating in the College Royal Beef Show. I got the chance to work with, train, and show a beef heifer at College Royal, a campus-wide open house. Getting hands-on experience with a live animal was really cool and helped reinforce a lot of the content I had learned in my classes. Thank you, Cornerstone Capital, for helping make this possible! I greatly appreciate your generosity and support of young people like myself as we pursue higher education.” For more information and to request the criteria and application package, contact the Cornerstone Capital Financial Group at info@cornerstonecfg.ca or call 519-753-9622.
