Grab Philippines, in collaboration with Bagosphere, is inviting applications for the third cohort of its GrabScholar program.
This program offers full-time college scholarships, bursary support, and a career acceleration pathway for aspiring BPO professionals.
GrabScholar is a three-pronged program that covers full-time college scholarships, bursary support for educational needs, and a career acceleration pathway for aspiring Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) professionals.
The latest iteration of GrabScholar covers full-ride merit-based college scholarships specifically for three- and four-year degrees in Business, Sustainability, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at any college or university in the Philippines. It also extends bursary support from Kindergarten through Grade 12.
With these updates, the leading superapp intends to create professional pathways for the next generation of leaders in the above mentioned fields. Grab is geared to provide more meaningful support to its college scholars by connecting them to training, mentorship, internship, and potential employment opportunities within the company.
GrabScholar is part of Grab’s broader GrabForGood initiative, aimed at creating opportunities for social progress and growth for more Filipinos, and Southeast Asia at large.
“I am fortunate to have had the privilege of accessing education through scholarships. As the son of educators and a scholar from elementary to graduate school, I deeply understand the transformative power of educational opportunities,” Ronald Roda, Grab Philippines country head said.
“Through the GrabScholar Program, we will empower more of our young and hardworking Filipino students with access to quality education. We hope that this program will widen their path towards achieving their dreams,” he added.
In this batch, Grab will be awarding full-ride merit-based scholarships to six freshmen college students and providing School Expenses Aid worth P2,500 to 300 K-12 students. The leading superapp is also co-funding scholarships for a fellowship program for 150 aspiring BPO professionals.
