Grab Philippines has officially awarded full-ride college scholarships to six exceptional freshmen students through the GrabScholar program.
These talented individuals, representing diverse regions of the Philippines, have been granted comprehensive scholarship packages to pursue their chosen courses in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and business at their chosen universities.
The scholarship includes a monthly stipend to support essential expenses, such as dormitory accommodations and daily needs; as well as an annual allowance for school supplies. It offers an opportunity to participate in an internship with Grab Philippines.
Among the recipients of the full college scholarship are Chloe Cipriano, Genille Gonzales, and Knash Alsonado.
The GrabScholar program aims to provide educational opportunities to deserving students from underprivileged backgrounds.
By covering tuition, school supplies, and living expenses, the program ensures that these scholars can focus entirely on their studies and their aspirations.
“We are incredibly proud of our GrabScholars. They exemplify the importance of opportunity and demonstrate how, when coupled with hard work and determination, it can shape a better future for an individual. They are a testament to what GrabScholar is all about — not just financial aid but an investment in the future leaders and trailblazers of our communities,” Grab Philippines Country Head Ronald Roda said.
This year’s batch of College GrabScholars expands the program’s roster to a total of 18 outstanding college students. Besides the full-ride college scholarships, GrabScholar 2024 also covered the bursary support for the educational needs of 300 K-12 students and a career acceleration pathway for 150 aspiring Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) professionals.
