JAKARTA - Education is believed to be a bridge to break the chain of family poverty. Unfortunately, the high cost of education has hampered underprivileged families from school to education level.
However, scholarships can be an option. Apart from subsidies from the government, there is also support for educational funds from various institutions. One of them is the GrabScholar Scholarship Program which has entered its third year.
Scholarships from online motorcycle taxi providers open opportunities for thousands of students from elementary, junior high, high school/equivalent, and university (S1/D4) education levels throughout Indonesia. Registration for the GrabScholar 2024 Scholarship Program has been open from June 10, 2024 to June 30, 2024 and can be followed by Mitra Grab, Mitra Grab's family, and also the general public.
Again cooperating with BenihBaik.com, through this scholarship program Grab provides support in the form of education financing, living expenses, and internship opportunities at Grab for participants who pass the selection. Just like in previous years, this program is part of the Abadi Grab Fund Appreciation Program which aims to reward and appreciate individuals who have contributed in various sectors, including transportation - delivery (Transportation Fighters) and MSMEs (MSME Fighters) in Indonesia, including Grab Partners.
We believe that education is the best investment for the future. This is what underlies us to consistently hold the GrabScholar Scholarship Program which has been running for 3 consecutive years. Since it was first launched, we have received more than 35,000 applications from students throughout Indonesia. This number shows the enthusiasm and persistence of Indonesia's young generation in demanding knowledge through formal education. We hope that this program can help the nation's next generation to gain equal access to education," said Neneng Goenadi, Country Managing Director, Grab Indonesia.

The persistence of scholarship recipients to achieve higher education is also reflected in the efforts made by David Neilleen Irvine, recipient of the 2023 GrabScholar Scholarship, who is currently in the second year of the Yogyakarta University of Computer Science at Gadjah Mada University (UGM).
Since I was a child, I aspired to be a programmer to be able to create discoveries that could help many people. At first, I had doubts about being able to make that dream come true because the costs needed were not small, but the GrabScholar Scholarship Program helped me take a step further to realize this. With the help of education funds and living expenses during my 4 years of college, I don't have to think about college fees and being able to save to buy laptops that support lecture activities to allow me to participate in national and international programming competitions," said David.
