CACI Announces First Scholarship Program Recipients ARLINGTON, Va., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI International Inc
(NYSE: CAI - News) today announced the first recipients of its CACI Scholarship
Program, implemented in partnership with the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation (NMSC). In recognizing and rewarding students who demonstrate
academic excellence, CACI's ongoing program reflects the company's long-time
employee focus and corporate emphasis on supporting education. Each year through the CACI Scholarship Program, the company sponsors five college undergraduate scholarships of $1500 per year, for up to four years of college undergraduate study. Three of these scholarships are awarded to college-bound children of full-time, permanent CACI employees. Two other scholarships are awarded to applicants outside of CACI who demonstrate excellence in the fields of science, math, or technology. Applications for the 2009 CACI Scholarships are now also being evaluated. The CACI Scholarships are competitive and based exclusively on educational performance, as measured through testing and related demonstrations of academic proficiency. Scholarship winners are selected by NMSC, and the 2008 recipients were notified privately in messages to the students and their families. Funding begins in the Fall of 2008. CACI also supports education through its Project Philanthropy program, through which CACI employees can assist in such initiatives as the adopt-a-school program, tutoring, science fairs, field trips, and providing technical assistance in the classroom. The company also offers educational opportunities through its award-winning CACI Virtual University and provides a tuition reimbursement program. CACI and its employees have a long history of participation in academic initiatives that help young people achieve their educational goals. According to Paul Cofoni, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, "CACI is pleased to partner with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation to support educational opportunities for our employees and their families. National Merit Scholarships are among the highest academic honors our high school students can attain, and we are gratified that so many CACI employees participated in the program. Education is vitally important to our nation's future, and we look forward to the contributions our scholarship recipients will make in support of America's leadership in science, math and technology." Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, CACI Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board, said, "The CACI Scholarship Program continues our company's history of educational support for our employees and their families, and provides an added focus on the technical skills that are critical to our country's future. Moreover, the program reflects our ongoing commitment to making CACI a productive, exciting, and rewarding place to work.
