<br/><br/> Success in education is considered crucial for pursuing one’s dreams and<br/>achieving life goals. However, college inevitably presented challenges and<br/>demands that students needed to navigate in order to fully utilize university<br/>resources and meet academic standards. This study focused on the relationship<br/>between financial status and academic performance among selected fourth-year<br/>students of the Technological University of the Philippines – Cuenca Extension<br/>Program during the academic year 2024 - 2025. A purposive sampling technique<br/>was employed, as the study involved a specific group of participants based on the<br/>results of a rating scale or survey questionnaire. The quantitative correlational<br/>research design, frequency, percentage, mean, weighted mean, standard<br/>deviation and pearson r correlation were used to determine the relationship<br/>between financial status and academic performance among 58 fourth-year<br/>students.<br/>The study revealed a moderate level of agreement regarding the financial<br/>status of the respondents across various factors. This indicated that the financial<br/>experiences of fourth-year college students at TUP–Cuenca Extension Program<br/>were neither highly favorable nor extremely difficult, but still showed that students<br/>faced notable financial hardships in pursuit of their education. The data on their<br/>academic performance, as measured by their General Weighted Averages (GWA)<br/>during the academic year 2024 – 2025 showed that students were still able to<br/>obtain passing grades despite experiencing financial instability and challenges.<br/>This finding suggested that academic performance, particularly the achievement<br/>of passing or high GWA, was not entirely hindered by financial difficulties.<br/>The study found a marginally significant relationship between financial<br/>status and academic performance (GWA), though the relationship was not strong.<br/>Nevertheless, the result implied a possible association between the two variables.
