FINANCIAL AID

As a small nonprofit, FCS has limited funds to offer to families in need of financial aid.  With these funds, we aim to ease the financial burden of tuition for families who are currently enrolled and are experiencing financial hardship.  Funds allocated in the budget and money raised through fundraising efforts will be distributed to enrolled families.  

Donate to the FCS Financial Aid Fund

If you would like to contribute to FCS’ Financial Aid Funding Program, we welcome your contribution. We encourage family members to participate in making a direct and positive difference in the lives of our children through a one-time or recurring donation. Please click FCS donation to go to our secure donation site.
