This study examines the management strategies of the KIP Kuliah Scholarship and their impact on learning motivation among students at UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta, focusing on underprivileged recipients through a policy management approach. The objective is to analyze the influence of POAC management functions (planning, organizing, actuating, controlling) on student motivation. Employing a quantitative descriptive method, data were collected via online questionnaires from a population of 500 KIP recipients, with a sample of 83 students selected through cluster random sampling and Slovin's formula at a 10% error level. Instruments included Likert-scale questionnaires, analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 25, preceded by classical assumption tests. Results show all POAC functions positively and significantly affect motivation both partially (planning β=0.388, p=0.000; organizing β=0.182, p=0.018; actuating β=0.172, p=0.036; controlling β=0.382, p=0.000) and simultaneously (F=407.051, p=0.000), explaining 95.4% variance (Adjusted R²=0.954). In conclusion, effective POAC implementation enhances scholarship management, boosting intrinsic motivation and academic persistence among recipients.
