Grab Philippines has awarded full-ride college scholarships to six exceptional freshmen through its GrabScholar program.
These students, hailing from diverse regions across the Philippines, are pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Business at various 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. To further support their career aspirations, the program offers an opportunity to participate in an internship with Grab Philippines, ensuring meaningful progress toward their dream professions.
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,” Grab Philippines Country Head Ronald Roda said.
“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,” he added.
As these scholars unwrap their Christmas presents this year, they do so with the knowledge that their hard work and dedication have paid off. With the support of the GrabScholar program — co-facilitated with BagoSphere, they are well on their way to achieving their dreams and making a significant impact on society.
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.
