The Burmese American Community Institute is hosting two workshops Oct. 8 and 14 to help students, parents and guardians fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Students should make sure to have a list of schools they want to send financial aid information to. Parents and students should also bring their Social Security or immigrant registration number, 2024 tax returns and records of untaxed income or child support.
You can view a full list of needed information on the Federal Student Aid website.
To make sure you’re eligible for state financial aid, such as the Frank O’Bannon Grant, students should complete the form by April 15, 2026.
