Abstract
This study investigates the significant relationship between mental health and academic motivation
among graduating students. Thus, the study employed a correlational design to determine if there is a
significant relationship between mental health and academic motivation among 150 graduating
college students. Hence, the Mental Health Inventory 38 (MHI-38) and Academic Motivation Scale
(AMS-C28) were employed to measure the study variables. Moreover, statistical analysis reveals that
the r coefficient of 0.35 indicates a low positive correlation between the variables. The p-value of
0.00, which is less than 0.05, leads to the decision to reject the null hypothesis.
