FACT is one of the largest Filipino American student conferences in the Midwest that is held annually by the Philippine Student Association. It features workshops run by professors from various universities focusing on past, present, and future Filipino and Filipino American issues to educate and empower delegates. Philippine student associations from across the US attend FACT. A student from Thailand was chosen in a nationwide competition to receive a full scholarship contract to study landscape architecture at the University of Illinois, obtaining bachelor's, master's and PhD degrees. The student then had to return to Thailand to initiate and teach in the country's first landscape architecture program in Bangkok for 30 years, committing to this plan at age 17.
