Fayette Ware High school Seniors were offered the opportunity to apply for the FCSAA Scholarship between February 15, 2021 and March 12, 2021.  During that time, all students were back in classroom study rather than remote or distance learning. 

 

However, during  the first week of the application period, there was a snow/ice storm and all schools were closed and seniors were not notified about applying for scholarships until the following week. 

 

Long story short, the deadline came with seniors not having the time needed to complete and submit their application for a scholarship.

Therefore, we are extending the application period for two additional weeks; March 22 - April 2, 2021.

 

We need your help. If you have any relatives or friends that have seniors graduating from FWCHS this year or know anyone that does, please make them aware that seniors have until April 2, 2021 to apply for a scholarship from the FCSAA.  For the application process or more information, they should contact their Senior Counselor. . 

 

Thank you.

Monroe Woods,

President

OUR HISTORY

 In 1983, the Fayette County Training School's Alumni Association (FCTSAA) was organized.  A small group, led by the late Mr. Robert "Bob" Reed, wanted to "give back" to the community that inspired students of FCTS to achieve their dreams. Along with Bob, attendees at that meeting included Christine Lewis, Margaret Thurman Pruitt, Elroy Jones, the late Rosie Coleman Jones and Floyd Bonner.  The name of the organization was later changed to Fayette County Schools Alumni Association, Inc. to include all public high schools in Fayette County.

 

The Fayette County Schools Alumni Association, Inc., (FCSAA) was formed to provide financial assistance to college bound graduating seniors of our public high schools in Somerville, Tennessee.  In 2002, the Association was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Tennessee and in 2003 we received our 501 c (3) ruling from the IRS.  Therefore, all contributions are tax deductible.

 

During the last few years, we have awarded over $1,013,800.00 in scholarships to more than 639 students.  Funds are raised through membership fees, donations, contributions from United Way of the Mid-South and other fundraising activities. Our primary fundraising event is the Annual Spring Banquet.  Although the 2020 banquet was virtual, thanks to our supporters, fundraising continued.  

 

To make a donation toward the future of  Fayette County Schools graduates, send your check or money order to:  FCSAA, P. O. BOX 586, Somerville, TN 38068.
