Grit is an important aspect of student academic performance. Various studies on grit have been conducted, but no one has examined individual differences in grit among college students. The purpose of this study is to determine individual differences related to grit in college students. The method used is a literature study on research articles published in reputable international journals. A search for reputable international journals in the 2018-2022 range used the Science Direct page, with the keywords grit, individual differences, and motivation. The search returned 10 articles that matched the criteria. The article was then analyzed using a literature review. The results of the study show that individual differences have a relationship with student grit. The implication of this research is to show that accommodating various individual differences in the learning process is very much needed by students. The persistence of effort and consistency of interest which are the dimensions of grit are also influenced by individual differences. Grit has a very important role for students in achieving the goals set.
