This paper investigated the relationship between social support (types, amount and importance of sources) with subjective well-being and academic achievement of pre-university female students. The research method was a descriptive and correlational (regression). The statistical population was all pre-university female students in Birjand. 220 students were selected randomly from three pre-university centres. Scale of Social Support for Children and Adolescents (CASSS2000, Malecki, Demary, & Ellliot, 2000) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHI) was used to measure the research variables. The data were analyzed using multiple regression. The research findings showed there was a statistically positive relationship between sources of social support and perceived level of support from parents and classmates with subjective well-being. In addition, only the importance of receiving support from parents related positively to students' subjective well-being. In types of support, only emotional and informational support had a statistically positive relationship with subjective well-being. On the other hand, the research results also showed that there was not a statistically correlation between types and network of social support with academic achievement. The study specifically highlights the role of parental support in subjective well-being.
