The 1987 FMCS yearbook was dedicated to the memory of David M. Benton. David passed away during the summer, before his junior year in high school. This is an excerpt from that yearbook: “He was a treasured gift to us and our school. He was a member of the National Honor Society, starter for the varsity basketball team, had a love for baseball, and scored very high in his academics. But of the many things for which he is remembered, his love for Jesus is the one thing he would want us to look back on the most. David was a very special person with an overwhelming love for God – and it showed! He will always be a precious memory in our hearts and will constantly be thought of for who he was – ‘a priceless child of God’. “David was a student who tried to set a positive example in his life spiritually, academically and athletically. This is the type of student we are looking for at FMCS!
Timothy 4:12: Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

The application season for the 2011-12 school year is upon us! Below please find some critical dates regarding this year’s application season and instructions on how to work with families looking to apply for the Step Up For Students scholarship for 2011-12.
As you know, in the past two years, we’ve experienced an incredibly high demand for scholarships and, unfortunately, we have had to close the application season early. We expect the demand for scholarships for the 2011-12 school year to be no different. Because of this, we highly encourage renewal families to submit their applications early. Below you’ll find a few key highlights for this application season:
- Applications for NEW families will be available in early May.
- For the 2011-12 application, the online application fee is $30.
Why are we making these changes?
1) Demand for the scholarship program continues to grow. Over 9,000 students expressed interest in the scholarship program AFTER we closed the 2010-2011 season due to reaching our funding limit.
2) Thousands of new and renewal parents waited until the end of July (or later) to apply for the 2010-2011 scholarship, and consequently began the school year uncertain of the status of their child(ren)’s scholarship application. This caused anxiety for parents, students and school administrators. Some were found to be ineligible, and then had to face a tuition balance at their private school and the dilemma of where to place their child for the school year.
We recognize that the dates for the 2011-12 application season are different from past years, and therefore we are letting you know in advance. We would hate for eligible families to miss out because they waited too long to apply. As in years past, parents (new or renewal) should call our contact center with any questions regarding the 2011-12 application season at 877-735-SUFS.
Thanks!
