method with accidental sampling technique. The research subjects were 104 overseas students who were at one of Universities in Palembang City. The research instrument uses a Self-Actualization Activity Inventory (SAAI) and The Inventory of Undergraduates Gratitude (IUG). The result of testing the data shows that there is a positive relationship between gratitude and self-actualization in overseas students
