A module is called an `extending' module if every submodule is essential in a direct summand. However, direct sums of extending modules are not necessarily extending and full or upper triangular matrix rings over right extending rings are not necessarily right extending rings. The authors deal (an earlier version was already presented in New Orleans Algebra Conference, 1999) with the following generalization: a module is called `FI-extending' if every fully invariant submodule is essential in a direct summand. This class of modules is closed under direct sums and a ring is right FI-extending if and only if the upper triangular matrix ring is so. Moreover, the full matrix ring has this property if the entries are selected in such a ring. Several applications are given obtaining generalizations of results of C. Faith concerning maximal regular ideals, replacing the continuity of the ring by the FI-extending property. Interconnections with various related conditions (e.g., extending, quasi-Baer, quasi-continuous) are also investigated. Finally, a ring decomposition for a right nonsingular right FI-extending ring is obtained using the concept of orthogonal pairs of module classes.
