Summary, etc. This study examined the levels of academic stress and academic motivation and analyzed the relationship between these variables among high school scholars of Ateneo de Iloilo Santa Maria Catholic School (ADI-SMCS) during the school year 2025-2026. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed, with data collected from 55 scholars across five scholarship programs using an adapted Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and a researcher-developed Academic Motivation Scale for Scholars (AMFS). The results revealed that scholars experienced a moderate level of academic stress (M = 27.06) and a relatively high level of academic motivation (M = 32.29). There existed a strong positive relationship between stress and motivation (r = 0.80), which was statistically significant (p = 0.017, p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. This indicates that as stress levels increase, motivation levels also rise proportionally among scholars. The findings suggest that stress functions as a motivational catalyst, particularly among scholars with higher financial stakes, who exhibited elevated levels of both stress and motivation. Overall, the study highlights the role of structured academic pressure in fostering resilience, effective coping mechanisms, and sustained motivation, enabling scholars to transform stress into productive energy for academic success.
