CAC Grants

The Career Advisory Council (CAC) is a partnership between Lake Zurich High School and members of the local business community. The mission of the CAC is to provide students with a better understanding of career opportunities, to help establish an environment which enables students to successfully make the transition from school to the world of work, and to collectively build a foundation for the development of enrichment programs that will benefit students and the business community.

In accordance with this mission, the CAC has established a grant process to award money to those individuals who demonstrate good academic potential and would like to continue to receive career education or career experiences but have limited financial resources.
