ESGP PA Scholars in the University of Eastern Philippines Their Academic Performance, Challenges, and Perceived Solutions

The ESGP PA scholars in the University of Eastern Philippines, in spite of the financial grant, have their fair share of challenges at home, in school, and with the scholarship management. This descriptive qualitative study delved into documenting the scholars' academic performance, discovering a myriad of their challenges, unlocking in them their perceived solutions, and mapped out recommendations designed to help the ESGP PA Scholarship Management for the academic advancement of the scholars. Results revealed that the scholars are fairly performing their academics but are affronted of school related challenges ranging from hectic class schedule and time limitations in requirement submissions to pressures in maintaining their grades given their non regular school attendance. For school management related, they get to experience delays of the financial grant, and long queues for scholarship renewal and other submissions. At home, they are torn between their school and family priorities. This is aside from experiences of low familial support to their education and financial obligation, where the bulk of their allowance goes to aid their family needs and as capital build up for the livelihood ventures of their parents. In the light of these circumstances, the scholars thought of perceived solutions, which to them are the be all answers. Leah A. De Asis | Tito M. Cabili | Brenfred N.
