At Cornerstone Capital Financial Group, we believe financial planning isn’t just about managing wealth — it’s about building a stronger, more resilient community for generations to come.
Through the Cornerstone Community Scholarship, we’re proud to recognize local students who demonstrate leadership, compassion, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their communities.
Each year, scholarships are awarded to deserving students pursuing post-secondary education, helping to ease the financial burden of their next chapter and encouraging them to continue making a difference. It’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us — and of investing in the future leaders, thinkers, and changemakers of tomorrow.
