INTRODUCTION
The proponent was challenged to research about TNHS Grade 12 students' level of savings consciousness by adopting the Make Your Money Grow (MYMG) Program. The program was patterned from the content of the article in the Educator's Magazine dated March-April 2013.
METHODS
The study was descriptive-evaluative in nature because it described the respondents' savings consciousness level before and after the implementation of MYMG program in terms of the value of savings and frugality, PDIC’s role in the banking system, and basic rights and responsibilities of young depositors. It used a survey method and was conducted on the second semester of the school year 2017-2018.
RESULTS
Before the implementation of the MYMG program, the respondents' savings consciousness level is conscious to a moderate extent (CME) while after the implementation of the program, students' savings consciousness level had been recognized as conscious to a great extent (CGE). The result in finding the significant difference in students' responses before and after the MYMG program revealed that under the value of savings and frugality the absolute computed t-value was 5.78 and critical t-value of 2.145. Whereas, under the PDIC's role in the banking system the absolute computed t-value was 9.16 and a critical t-value of 2. Lastly, under the basic rights and responsibilities of young depositors the absolute computed t-value was 2.97 and a critical t-value of 2.145. The researcher rejected the null hypothesis.
DISCUSSIONS
The study was conducted in Talipan National High School-Senior High School Program. The researcher decided to have this study for the reason that he was challenged about the active participation of his students in opening their respective bank accounts. MYMG program is an effective approach in intensifying savings consciousness level among Grade 12-ABM students at Talipan National High School.
