In order to obtain qualitative data from students and their opinions about the impact of the school’s reward system on student motivation and academic performance, a survey research strategy was chosen for the study. Data were segregated by SPSS. Frequencies, independent sample t-tests, correlation, and Pearson were applied to get desired results.
