Abstract	This study investigates the relationship between budget strategy and the academic and operational standing of Laguna State Polytechnic University (LSPU). Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study explores how financial strategies—particularly in fund allocation, financial planning, resource management, and expenditure monitoring—affect institutional outcomes such as academic performance, operational efficiency, and stakeholder satisfaction. Data were gathered from students, faculty, and administrative personnel through structured surveys, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. Findings revealed that LSPU’s budget strategies are positively correlated with academic and operational outcomes. Allocation of funds emerged as a key factor, showing moderately high correlations with student achievement, faculty satisfaction, and service delivery. Financial planning was strongly linked to operational efficiency and faculty development, while resource management played a significant role in maximizing institutional resources. Expenditure monitoring, though slightly less impactful, demonstrated meaningful contributions to transparency and fiscal discipline. Collectively, these strategies reinforced stakeholder trust, improved institutional processes, and enhanced the learning environment. The study concludes that LSPU’s financial strategies significantly influence its performance and sustainability. Recommendations include adopting adaptive planning mechanisms, strengthening internal audit systems, enhancing physical and digital infrastructure, and engaging stakeholders in budget planning. The research provides insights valuable to university administrators and policymakers aiming to align budget practices with institutional goals in public higher education.
