Introduction

Scholarship Program is a support given by school or other


organizations to pay for the expenses of a person who studies and
has shown excellence in academic or athletic aspects.
Scholarships are no longer just a bonus. They’re crucial for
bridging the gap between the increasing cost of tuition and what
you and your family can afford to pay out of pocket. A
scholarship is not only given for the people who need financial
aid, it is also given to students who have academic excellence
and an athletic ability.

Scholarship is important to every student who encounters


financial problems. Nowadays, students are facing different
problems in everyday living, like being stressed in project,
reporting, group activity and more. But some students experience
financial problems that can affect their studies. Because of
that, scholarship programs are established that can help students
lessen their expenses and to become a successful person in the
future.

This open scholarship program support individuals who are


passionate about improving their knowledge and to sustain a deep
understanding off their abilities such as academic skills,
talents, extra composition activities. The concern is to raise
and to improve the financial needs for each family of the
students. This is the help benefits that our government gives to
the students who can’t afford or have an insufficient amount of
money to the tuition fee of their school or university.

But there are some cases that having scholarship might affect
students time management, due to concentration to his/her
studies. Also joining to any extracurricular activities caused
students to be more vigorous that affects his/her personal time.

This study addressed the importance of the government scholarship


for senior high school students in Core Gateway College Inc.
Giving scholarship in moral support for a students in secondary
level or a senior high school. It is important to have a
government that can be student anticipation.

Education is one of the most important things in life that


an individual must have. As defined, it is the knowledge and
development resulting from an educational process (Merriam-
Webster, 2017).Additionally, it as often as possible happens
under the direction of others, yet may likewise be self-
teaching. Any experience that formatively affects the way
one think, feels, or acts might be viewed as instructive.
That is the reason why, the Philippine government assigns the
highest budgetary priority (Article XIV sec. 5 of the 1987
Philippine Constitution) to provide accessible education to all.
Through education and hard work, success is made possible.

Performance is how well or badly something is done. Its relevance


stand out because of the significance it holds to the society. In
the educational parlance, performance manifests through academic
achievement, which is the manifestation of a student’s habit of
study and they in turn are formed and strengthened through
education. The development of good study habits is equally
relative and helpful not only in academic work but in career
actualization. And because this interrelationship cannot be
overlooked, the academic achievement and study habit of the
student to a large extent culminates into shaping an individual
destiny. The general belief is that students who exercise good
study habits are likely to excel than those with poor study
habits. According to Sharma (2005, p.67)”.

“Study defined as the regular tendency and practice that one


depicts during the process of gaining information through
learning. Indeed, establishing a proper and efficient study habit
will make one’s high school life meaningful and challenging.

This study addressed the increasing importance of the student’s


academic achievement measured by the test scores, through
examining study habits of students in its relation. By
encouraging proper study habits through the use of both the
internet and their peers, students can practice these habits in a
comfortable and engaging atmosphere thus improving their
efficiency in learning and allowing for the development of
academically excellent students. It is important to know the
relationship between a good study habit and its respective
academic performance to provide some recommendation on how to
improve one’s performance

REVIEW ON RELAED LITERATURE

Definition of Government Scholarship

“A scholarship is a financial award given to a student on


the basis of academic achievement and promise. Many scholarships
are awarded based on merit. However, some also take into account
financial need. Scholarships do not have to be repaid”. (Flinn,
2010)
Scholarship money can come from any number of sources. There
are scholarships provided by governments, corporations,
universities or any organization with a little goodwill and some
money to burn. Many famous scholarships come from stipulations in
the wills of philanthropists. For instance, the Rhodes
scholarship, which is one of the most prestigious scholarships in
the world, is named for the diamond baron and fervent colonialist
Cecil Rhodes, who founded Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Rhodes created
a trust in his will that pays for a select group of exceptional
students to study at the University of Oxford in England every
year. Former Rhodes scholars include sportscaster Pat Haden,
pundit Rachel Maddow and former president Bill Clinton. (Flinn,
2010)

Statistics of Scholarship Program in the Philippines

Reason why there have a Scholarship program

Financial Benefit. Many students graduate from college with


enormous student loan debt or limit their education in an attempt
to control costs. Because scholarships are free money, however,
students can focus on their careers instead of thinking about how
they will repay loans. This allows them to go into fields like
law or medicine that require postgraduate training or to pursue
careers in public service or other areas that don't pay high
salaries. By removing financial barriers, scholarships make
education and career goals easier to obtain. (Mahuron, 2016)
Career Benefit. Earning a prestigious or merit-based
scholarship can actually make you a more attractive job
candidate. Employers who understand the competitive nature of the
scholarship will recognize it as an accomplishment. Generally, a
merit-based scholarship demonstrates to future employers that you
have exceptional ability in the academic, athletic or artistic
realm. Competitive scholarships are accomplishments worth listing
on your resume and can help you stand out when you search for a
job -- possibly helping you achieve the career you want.
(Mahuron, 2016)

Personal Benefit. A scholarship can make a big difference in


how much time and resources you will have during college to spend
on enhancing your experience and knowledge through service-
learning, volunteer opportunities and internships. The money and
security afforded by a scholarship allows you to be more
selective in how you spend your free time. Use this time wisely
and make the most of it; instead of working at any minimum-wage
job you can find to support yourself, select work that is
meaningful and adds value to your degree. (Mahuron, 2016)

Effects of Scholarship Program

According to a study conducted by the Bill and Melinda


Gates foundation, the number one reason of students to drop out
is working while studying. The risk of dropping out and not
getting the degree you like can actually reduce because of having
a scholarship that pays for your education and lessen your
expenses. Decreasing financial concerns, scholarships can also
lead you to a better grade and gaining knowledge and increasing
the chances for continuing to graduate on school.

Impact Of Scholarship Program


According to the University of Hawaii Foundation (2015),
Scholarships decrease the number and amount of loans students
need to take to complete higher education. Two-thirds of college
students now graduate with loans, and their average college debt
is nearly $20,000 — an increase of more than 50% since the early
90's. People involved in shaping public policy and allocating
funds often view loans and grants on the same level as "aid".

Scholarships add to federal and state financial assistance.


Many students do not qualify for federal aid as federal policy
has long been focused on access for low-income students. States
and colleges have become increasingly focused on getting high-
income, high-achieving students to attend their institutions or
to remain in-state.

Scholarships can fill the gap. Scholarship assistance can


support students who fall in the gap between high and low income
levels — students who may not qualify for a need based
scholarship and who do not meet the criteria for a merit based
scholarship.

Scholarships teach philanthropy. By being the student


recipient of a scholarship, it is hoped that the students will
become philanthropic themselves and "give back" when they are
financially able.

Success in higher education is commonly defined by a


student’s persistence, progression, and timely graduation. The
administration of financial aid to college students has been
shown to facilitate such student success. Financial aid for
higher education consists of both need- and merit-based aid, in
such forms as grants, loans, tuition remission, and private or
institutional scholarships. Yet, between the years of 1995 and
2005, colleges and universities increased the total dollar amount
spent on student aid by 95%. Grant contributions rose 89%, and,
due to the marked increase in scholarships funded directly by
individual institutions, schools were fiscally responsible for
41% of these expenditures. Therefore, pecuniary variables,
particularly institutionally funded scholarships, may play an
increasingly large role in attempts to support student success in
higher education. (Ganem & Manasse, 2011)

Student’s academic performance occupies a very important


place in education as well as in the learning process. It is
considered as a key criterion to judge one’s total potentialities
and capacities (Nuthana & Yenagi, 2009) which are frequently
measured by the examination results. It is used to pass judgment
on the quality of education offered by academic institutions. In
fact, it is still the most topical debate in higher learning
institutions that caused great concern to educators and
researchers due to the alarming examination performance of
students.

It says that the understudy's scholarly execution possesses


a vital place in training and also in the learning procedure. It
is considered as a key basis to judge one's aggregate
possibilities and limits which are every now and again measured
by the examination comes about. It is utilized to condemn the
nature of instruction offered by scholastic foundations. Truth be
told, it is as yet the most topical civil argument in higher
learning organizations that made awesome concern teachers and
specialists because of the disturbing examination execution of
understudies. Productive investigation propensities are related
with a great demeanor toward learning in general. Study
propensity is the example of conduct received by understudies in
the quest for their examinations that fills in as the vehicle of
learning

Development of a good study is an art (K.


Premalakshmi, 2012). The first step to have a good academic
achievement is to formulate a regular study habit. Children
practice themselves at home and in school in order to have a good
study habits. They should be guided properly. Through the help of
the parents and teachers, the children would strengthen their
ability to study and to contribute positively to the aspects of
learning.

K. Premalakshmi (2012) stated that the students of a


government do not get a proper attention from their parents,
teachers, and peers. So, special care should be given to the
students to have a better understanding. The students should
attain a good study habits to have a good academic achievement
and to have a brighter future.
