ABSTRACT
All students want to achieve their dreams through completing and obtaining a degree. Parents and students are doing everything they can to achieve it. Specifically, this study sought to determine the communication tools, economic resources, and living arrangements of the UniFAST-TES Grantees and construct a recommender procedure for additional assistance. A descriptive method was used and 288 grantees were surveyed as respondents. Results showed that: 65.6% of the respondents use their email accounts for education and claims; 81.9% receive allowances from their parents; 59.4% travel from home to school; 13.2% stay with their relatives; 70.1% use public transport; and 13.2% use service rides like motorcycles. Communication tools, economic resources, and living arrangements are essential for the Unifast-TES Grantees to finish college and get a degree. To assist the grantees, ASIST may consider providing additional benefits such as free room accommodations within the campus for two years, free printing of final thesis papers, other incentives to encourage the grantees to achieve their goals. Doing so will help the grantees finish college comfortably and excellently.
