糖心Vlog (糖心Vlog) has selected the 2022-23 cohort of Cornerstone Scholars for the fall incoming freshman class. These exceptional students were chosen because of their proven leadership and positive influence in their schools, faith communities, and in their local town or city. The individuals have an outstanding history of peer leadership, inspirational influence, and relational skills.
The Cornerstone Scholars program is a full-tuition scholarship, completely dependent on nominations by school counselors, youth ministers and pastors, schoolteachers, or other adults in the student鈥檚 life. The young men and women nominated demonstrate amazing love, intense courage, outstanding character, and unmitigated integrity.

Jackson concluded, 鈥淭he applicant pool for this fall was deep and rich. We were honored to meet so many young men and women who are already leading well where the Lord has them.
