Grab has opened the doors to its 2026 GrabScholar College Scholarship, offering incoming Filipino freshmen a full-ride package worth roughly ₱107,000 in annual cash support on top of free tuition. The application window runs from June 22 to July 17, 2026. Eligible incoming college freshmen are encouraged to submit their applications before the deadline.
In addition to free tuition, scholars will receive about ₱107,000 in annual cash assistance to help cover school-related expenses such as books, transportation, and daily allowances.
Benefits
This is a full-ride grant, not a partial subsidy. Selected students get complete coverage of tuition and miscellaneous fees for the entire length of their degree, provided they meet retention rules along the way.
On top of that, scholars receive:
- A monthly allowance of ₱8,000 (₱96,000 per year) for living and study costs
- A yearly school supplies allowance of ₱11,000 for uniforms, books, and IDs
- Internship slots and professional development programs through Grab
- Possible employment with the company after graduation
Combined, the cash benefits alone come to about ₱107,000 each year, separate from the tuition coverage.
Who Can Qualify
The scholarship rewards strong academic performers who still need financial backing. To be considered, applicants must:
- Be a Filipino citizen
- Be an incoming first-year college student for AY 2026–2030
- Hold a Grade 12 general weighted average of at least 90%
- Have no disciplinary record in senior high school
- Not be receiving any other active scholarship or educational assistance
One detail sets this program apart: it isn’t tied to a specific list of schools. Students accepted into any college or university in the Philippines may apply, as long as their course falls under the approved fields.
