INTRODUCTION
The Purpose of this study was to determine the relationship financial stress and academic
performance for students who enrolled in Army’s Angels Integrated School. A report by
the Education Trust (Burd, 2004) suggests that factors such as stress cause too many
financially needy students to drop out of college. A risk factor that often makes it difficult
for students complete their college education working full time (Choy, 2003). The other
students if they not capable to pay their miscellaneous fee it would be cause a stress or
financial stress for them. Sometimes other schools have a lot of activities and you need to
participate.
Higher education is an important purpose for many students. The value of higher
education is well known, as the statistics about how a degree can improve employment
opportunities are often cited. While the value of higher education is not often disputed, the
value it holds individual students could be. There are students who put a lot of time and
efforts into their studies and graduate with an exceptional academic status.
This is an especially significant point when the high level of investment that students put
into their education is taken into consideration. Students and their families are also
responsible for paying upon thousands of pesos to attend their college or university they
like. The goal of education is to help students meet their academic and professional
goals. (Amber Weaver’s Honor Thesis, 2013). Financial stress is for all of us, not only

cognitive ability it will affect your ability to focus if you are worried about your serious
issues. Starting at the basic education level, almost 20% of Filipino children who dropped
out of school mentioned insufficient financial resources the main reason for quitting
school (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2015). Other source of financial stress of the
students is the higher education. Not every student is able to study without financial
support from a parent. If there is no financial support from parent it is a big problem for
them and this will affect their academic performance. What they can do is work for their
school needs and for their family even it can affect by the academic performance because
of lost sleeps. According to Ohio Student Financial Wellness Survey, 71% of the sample
reported feeling stress from personal finances. Other students like us that confront the
financial stress, other people like principal, teachers, and the administrators of the school
should be understand and concern to us. There’s a lot of stress that we looking forward
like personal financial difficulties that they give a challenge for us. Financial stress
referred to the amount of stress a student had about their financial situation and academic

According to Science Daily they also found that students who had considered not
going to university or had considered abandoning their studies for financial reasons had a
greater deterioration in mental health over time. And according to Nicky Passmore, a
student like us is needed to focus to our studies and not be adversely affected by financial
difficulties.

“the unpleasant feeling that one is unable to meet financial demands, afford the
necessities of life, and have sufficient funds to make end meet” (Davis & Manter, 2004,

Very few studies have examined factors related to the likelihood of reporting
financial stress. Brougham, Zail, Mendoza, and Miller (2009) examined different sources
of stress, including academics, financial, family, social, and daily hassles, but the primary
For instance, Davidson et al., (2011) reported, “financial stress is heavily correlated with
poor money management skills, with a very direct relationship between the degree of
financial stress someone faces and their ability to manage their expenses, control their
debt, and pay their bills on time” (p.3) suggesting causation as directly related to a
persons’ money management behaviors. The economic well-being of the country is also
a factor related to student’s financial stress because it directly impacts tuition and other
educational expenses as well as the level of federal student financial aid made available
to qualifying students (Curran, 2009; Farrell, 2005; The guide to Federal Student Aid
2001-12).

eligibility for financial aid (Robb, 2011). Financial aid packages are usually a combination
of grants, work-study benefit, and loans that enter repayment six months after graduation.

the rising cost of a college education, and does not cover expenses beyond the direct
cost of attendance (Curran, 2009; Farrell, 2005; Joo et al., 2008; Pryor et al., 2010; Robb,

financial difficulties may indeed produce stress, there are important psychological aspects
of stress that may be missed when using financial data alone (Northern et al., 2010).
Being unable to pay bills on time may plausibly be a stressful event for one student, but
not for another student. Stress is certainly a complex construct, but the differences in
measurement of financial stress are likely a result of a lack of theory based research.

students and that three in five first-year students worry about paying for school and
having enough money for regular expenses. Furthermore, in a national survey of college

by currently enrolled college students were related to personal finances, such as the need
to repay loans, the cost of education, borrowing money for college, and the need to find a
