GRAB Phils. recently launched the GrabScholar: a three-pronged program facilitated with online human-skills school BagoSphere.
“Many of our kababayans still lack access to necessary resources to attain their educational goals…[This] has impacted their growth opportunities…” Vera Cruz said in a statement. “…With our partners from BagoSphere and PHINMA Education, [we are here] to offer inclusive educational opportunities to Filipinos who are eager to change their lives for the better.”
Further, she said GrabScholar matches its broader “GrabForGood” agenda, which is geared at creating a positive impact on local communities through Grab’s technology and platform. Grab Phils. has also launched other social-impact projects like its basic digital literacy effort with Microsoft for driver-partners, and financial-literacy program with the International Finance Corp. for small businesses.
“Throughout the past 18 years, PHINMA Education has catered, by intent and design, to the underserved youth: students whose families live on less than $300 per month who, despite odds, are often…first in their families to go to college,” PHINMA Education Phils. country head Christopher A. Tan revealed. “While we provide the Hawak Kamay scholarship…to around 60 percent of our students, GrabScholar will empower even more underserved youth to lift their families out of poverty.
