Abstract: The study wanted to determine the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic aspirations of students of Divine Word Colleges in Ilocos Region and their academic performance as measured by self-reported general average grades. To support the theory, related literature and studies were reviewed and proper research methodology was applied. The population of the study was Grade XII Senior High School students of Divine Word Colleges in Ilocos Region and total enumeration of sampling design was used. The study applied descriptive correlational research design and aided by fact finding inquiry. The variables of the study and the questionnaires are validated variables and validated questionnaires of Self-Determination Theory of Kasser and Ryan (2000). The weighted mean was used to determine the level of extrinsic and intrinsic aspirations and Pearson (r), or the Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic and academic performance. The study found that students have moderate level of extrinsic aspirations but very high level of intrinsic motivation. Further, the study concluded that there is no correlation between extrinsic aspirations and academic performance but there is extensive correlation between intrinsic aspirations and academic performance.
