ABSTRACT
This study looks at how parental support affects college students academic performance.
Amidst the academic challenges and psychological pressures faced by students, parental involvement remains an important yet often overlooked factor.
Using a quantitative approach with a survey method, data was collected from 43 students through a valid and reliable Likert scale questionnaire.
The results indicate a moderate yet significant positive correlation .

419, p = 0.
between parental support and academic performance.
Additionally, regression analysis shows that parental support accounts for 5% of the variation in students' academic outcomes.
These findings suggest that while academic performance is influenced by various factors, consistent emotional, financial, and motivational support from parents continues to play a meaningful role even at the higher education level.
Strengthening parental involvement, particularly in emotional aspects, can be a strategic effort to enhance student achievement and well-being in higher education settings.

all | The Effect of Parental Support on Student Academic Performance INTRODUCTION Higher education plays a crucial role in producing quality human resources, especially in the era of globalization that demands high competitiveness and competence in the world of work.
Education not only serves as a means of mastering knowledge, but also as a provision in managing time, maintaining motivation to learn, organizing responsibilities, and dealing with academic However, students are also faced with social and economic challenges, such as social environment adaptation, family expectations, and financial limitations that can affect learning concentration and academic performance.
In this context, educational success is often reflected in students academic performance, despite the fact that not all students are able to maintain optimal academic performance.
Phenomena such as academic stress, decreased motivation to learn, and difficulty achieving grade targets are common problems experienced by students (Fatmawati, 2.
Parental support is one of the characteristics that numerous studies have found to influence students academic performance (Rizkan.
Diah, & Priyanggasari, 2021.
Wila & Huwae, 2.
This support is not only in the form of financial assistance, but also includes emotional, instrumental, informational, and appreciation support that can increase student confidence and enthusiasm for learning (Wijaya.
Purnomo, & Idris, 2.
Previous studies show that the role of parents is still very relevant in the success of higher education, even in final-year students who tend to experience academic burnout.

, especially point 4.
Quality Education, which seeks to guarantee inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education for all, are also pertinent to this study.
The researcher performed pre-research on seven students from the State University of Jakarta Faculty of Economics and Business in order to bolster this urgency.
According to the findings, most respondents believed that their parents provided them with positive support in the form of financial aid, attention, and recognition for their academic success.
However, emotional support such as motivation when tired of studying has not been felt equally.
On the other hand, most respondents had good academic discipline, but were not fully proactive in seeking help when facing learning This finding suggests that although parental support in terms of financial and attentive aspects is quite strong, the emotional support aspect needs to be improved so that students' academic performance can develop more optimally.
In light of these results and current research, the purpose of this study was to ascertain whether parental support significantly affects students' academic performance at the State University of Jakarta's Faculty of Economics and Business and to quantify the extent to which parental support enhances academic performance.
RESEARCH METHODS
This study employs a survey method in conjunction with a quantitative approach.
The primary data were obtained directly from the research subjects using a questionnaire instrument.
The goal of this approach is to analyze the influence between the independent variable .
arental suppor.
and the dependent variable .
cademic performanc.
This study is categorized as a casual associative research, which aims to observe the cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables being The use of a quantitative survey allows the researcher to measure the strength and direction of this influence through statistical analysis.
The population of this research consists of active students enrolled in the Faculty of Economics and Business.
Universitas Negeri Jakarta (FEB UNJ).
The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with criteria focusing on students who are at least in their second semester, ensuring that they have had sufficient academic exposure to reflect on their academic performance.
A total of 43 respondents were selected based on these criteria and participated in the survey.
A questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, from 1 .

to 5 .

, was created in order to gather the data.
Each variable was measured with 10 statement items, which were constructed based on theoretical indicators relevant to parental support and academic The questionnaire was distributed online via Google Forms.
The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software through several stages.
First, a validity test was conducted using Corrected Item-Total Correlation to ensure that each item accurately measured its intended construct.
Items with correlation values above 0.

values equal to or greater than 0.
60 indicated acceptable reliability.
A normality test was then conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method, where a Sig.

05 indicated that the data met the assumption of normal distribution.
To test the Yayasan Amanah Nur Aman Syahla Rizkia Salsabila et.
all | The Effect of Parental Support on Student Academic Performance relationship between the variables, a Pearson correlation test was applied.
Finally, a simple linear
regression analysis was used to examine the effect of parental support on academic performance, providing values for the regression coefficient, significance level, and coefficient of determination (RA) to show the proportion of variance in academic performance explained by parental support

Similarly, all items in the Academic Performance variable (Y1AeY.
also showed correlation values greater than 0.
Thus, all statement items in both variables were declared valid.

It can be inferred that there is a statistically significant correlation between student academic success and parental support because the significance value is less than 0.
The association is in the moderate range and is positive.
