Money is needed in larger amounts, you can buy anything you needed. Paying
for any school related costs, such as tuition fees and school supplies. For some
project and expenses,even scholarship students required money. This is a

This study aimed to identify the correlation between the financial problem and
Senior High School students of SNCSTI academic performance.
Financial problems are commonly faced by everyone, especially for those who
come from underprivileged or low-income families.
According to Asri, Abu Bakar, Laili and Saad (2017), stated that although
students do not have a commitment on paying monthly debt instalments like
other households, however, their status as students requires them to pay their
education fees, rents and other essentials, by which they received the financial
from loans, scholarships or their families. In addition, students who come from
underprivileged or low-income families might affect their academic
performance. Many past research has been done to show a relationship
between financial problems and the students' academic performance.
Nnamani, Dikko, and Kinta (2014) noted that students' financial issues
significantly contribute to their poor academic performance, which ultimately
results in the bad quality of education in various ways. According to this early
studies, having money issues causes financial stress, which subsequently affects
kids' poor academic performance.
According to Dang and Bulus (2015), stated that many Americans are affected by
the economic downfall. Even college students often worry about their finances,
which then this financial worry may affect their academic performance as the
students are dividing their attention between financial and academic. Hence this
can be stated that the family's finances are motivation and encouragement for
the students to have a good academic performance.
According to Widener (2017) mentioned that there are two ways of how a
financial problem could affect the students academic performance which are
health problems and having to work part-time. Widener (2017) further added that
financial problems lead to health problems such as anxiety which then lead to
negative behaviors such as addiction to alcohol or uncontrolled shopping, hence
making the students lose their focus on their academics. When students face
financial problems to cope with the high cost of living, they are more exposed
and vulnerable to health problems. Therefore, here comes the issue of whether
students who have financial problems can handle the stress of managing their
daily lives and finance.
