Cornerstone University Honors Program Application

    Welcome to the Cornerstone University Honors Program application for Fall 2026. This form will help us learn more about you, your academic strengths, and your interest in joining our honors community. 

    To complete your application, you'll provide basic information and submit a 2-3 minute video essay based on the prompt below. Your video can be recorded on a phone - no editing or special equipment needed. 
     
     
    In a 2-3 minute video, tell us about a problem you helped to improve in your school, church, or community. What steps did you take, what did you learn about leadership, and how did your Christian faith shape your response to the situation?

    This video helps us get to know you and your potential to thrive in a leadership-focused honors community. 
    Tips for Filming Your Video Essay:
    *Use natural light and face a window or lamp so your video is clear.
    *Keep your phone steady by propping it up or using a simple stand.
    *Record in a quiet space so your voice is easy to hear.
    *Speak clearly and be yourself—we want to hear your perspective, not a scripted performance.
    *Do a quick test recording to check your lighting, sound, and framing before submitting.
    *This video capture allows for unlimited attempts. Click "Restart" if you would like to record again.
