Abstract :

This study examines the factors influencing the academic success of ADIK Papua affirmation students, particularly at Jenderal Soedirman University, using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory. The research aims to understand how the fulfillment of psychological, social, and self-actualization needs impacts the adaptation and academic achievements of affirmation students. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this study surveyed 12 recipients of the ADIK Papua scholarship from various faculties and departments at Jenderal Soedirman University. Data were collected through observations and open-ended questionnaires, analyzed using an interactive three-step model: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with verification. The findings reveal that the fulfillment of basic needs, including security, social support, and self-actualization, significantly influences the adaptation and academic success of ADIK Papua affirmation students.
