SCHOLARSHIP FUND

LACAC and CACI is happy to help deserving individuals advance their education, thanks to a gift from the estate of former CACI Founding President, Ed Webb, and from donations collected at the CACI National Convention and Regional Weekends as well as other supportive individuals.

Most CAC members are college graduates and view education as a positive factor in shaping lives. Thus, as a charitable endeavor, CACI has established the Catholic Alumni Clubs International Scholarship Fund, officially named the Edward T. Webb Memorial Fund.

Annually, each of the three CACI Regions directs the Fund to provide financial aid at a university, high school, elementary school, or other educational institution, which is selected by vote of that Region’s member clubs. Each member Club may nominate one school. 

History of the Fund

Ed Webb was the first president of the association that is now Catholic Alumni Clubs International. In his will, Ed bequeathed money to a CACI Scholarship Fund. Ed's will was opened in 2005. The following year, at the 2006 National Convention, the CACI Board of Directors established the Edward T. Webb Memorial Fund. CACers attending the Convention donated the first contributions into the Fund. Shortly thereafter, the Fund received a distribution from Ed's estate. Since 2007, the Fund has been annually assisting many students through scholarship awards to a number of educational institutions.
