The data collected from the administration of the questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The research questions were answered using simple percentages while multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses in SPSS 25 at a significant level of 0.05.  The finding of the study revealed that there is a significant financial constraint on the quality of research among students of Delta State University Abraka. There is a significant effect of finance on the quality of research among the students and there is a significant source of fundraising for quality research among students of Delta State University Abraka.
