Your GrabScholar College Scholarship Documentary Requirements come down to three school records, plus whichever relationship paper matches your situation.
Your Grade 12 average needs to be at least 90%, and you can’t already be receiving another active scholarship or educational assistance.
Start by figuring out who’s applying, whether that’s you, your parent, or your legal guardian, since that decides your relationship document.
Overview
Requirements to Prepare
Start by identifying who will submit the application, since your relationship document changes depending on whether you’re applying for yourself, your child, or your ward. The three school-related requirements below apply no matter which applicant type you fall under.
Documents You May Need
Depending on your situation, prepare the applicable documents:
- Birth Certificate
- Marriage Certificate, if applicable
- Certificate of Legal Guardianship, if applicable
- Grade 12 Report Card
- Acceptance Letter from your college or university, or any similar document
- Certificate of Good Moral Standing from your Senior High School
If you’re connected to a Grab merchant partner, an additional merchant document may also apply to you.

Which Documents Do You Need
If You’re a Parent Applying for Your Child
Prepare your child’s Birth Certificate, their Grade 12 Report Card, an Acceptance Letter from the college or university or any similar document, and a Certificate of Good Moral Standing from Senior High School.
If your child is 17 years old or younger, you as the parent or legal guardian should be the one submitting the application for them.
If You’re an Adult Applicant Applying for Yourself
Prepare your Birth Certificate, your Grade 12 Report Card, your college or university Acceptance Letter or similar document, and your Certificate of Good Moral Standing from Senior High School.
If You’re a Legal Guardian Applying for Your Child or Ward
Prepare a Certificate of Legal Guardianship, the student’s Grade 12 Report Card, a college or university Acceptance Letter or similar document, and a Certificate of Good Moral Standing from Senior High School.
If You’re an Adult Child or Ward of a Grab/Move It Driver or Merchant Partner

If You’re the Adult Spouse of a Grab/Move It Driver or Merchant Partner
Prepare your Marriage Certificate, your Grade 12 Report Card, a college or university Acceptance Letter or similar document, and your Certificate of Good Moral Standing from Senior High School.
If You’re the Adult Sibling of a Grab/Move It Driver or Merchant Partner
Prepare one Birth Certificate for yourself as the applicant, one Birth Certificate for your Grab/Move It driver or merchant partner sibling, your Grade 12 Report Card, a college or university Acceptance Letter or similar document, and your Certificate of Good Moral Standing from Senior High School.
The two Birth Certificates are what show your sibling relationship.
If Your Application Is Connected to a Merchant Partner
Prepare either your Grab Service Fee Statement, or your Tax Invoice from the merchant portal, and follow the upload instructions shown in the application for this requirement.
About the Grade 12 Report Card
Your Grade 12 grades matter here, since you need an average of at least 90% to qualify. Prepare a clear copy where your grades and school information are easy to read.
About the Acceptance Letter or Similar College Document
Grab’s sample-document section also refers to an Acceptance Letter or Certificate of Registration, so prepare whichever college document shows your admission or enrollment status and matches the application instructions.
About the Certificate of Good Moral Standing
This supports the qualification that you should have no disciplinary sanction during Senior High School.
About the Birth Certificate
A Birth Certificate applies to several applicant pathways, and how many copies you need depends on your situation. As the adult sibling of a Grab/Move It driver or merchant partner, for example, you’ll need one for yourself and one for your partner sibling.
About the Marriage Certificate
You’ll need this only if you’re applying as the adult spouse of a Grab/Move It driver or merchant partner.
About the Certificate of Legal Guardianship
You’ll need this if you’re the legal guardian applying for a student.

Possible expenses include:
- civil registry documents
- school document fees, if any
- photocopying, printing, or scanning

How to Prepare and Submit Your Application
1. Check if You Meet the Qualifications
You should be a Filipino citizen, an incoming first-year college student for AY 2026 to 2030, have at least a 90% Grade 12 average, have no disciplinary sanction during Senior High School, and not already be receiving another active scholarship or educational assistance. You should also plan to take an eligible Business, STEM, or Sustainability degree. Note that medical courses are excluded from the STEM category.
2. Check Your Degree Program
Your degree should be a three- to four-year program under Business, STEM (excluding medical courses), or Sustainability. You can enroll in any college or university in the Philippines.
3. Identify Who Should Submit the Application
Check whether the application will be submitted by your parent, you as an adult applicant, your legal guardian, or you as an adult family member of a Grab/Move It driver or merchant partner. This determines which relationship document you need.
4. Prepare Your Grade 12 School Records
Get your Grade 12 Report Card and your Certificate of Good Moral Standing, and make sure both copies are clear and complete.
5. Prepare Your College Admission Document
Prepare your Acceptance Letter, or another similar college admission or enrollment document accepted in the application.
6. Prepare Your Relationship Document
Depending on your situation, prepare the applicable Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, or Certificate of Legal Guardianship.
7. Prepare Your Merchant Document, if Applicable
If your application is connected to a merchant partner, prepare the required Grab Service Fee Statement or Tax Invoice from the merchant portal.
8. Complete the Online Application
The official 2026 application form is:
GrabScholar College Scholarship Form

9. Review Before You Submit

Common Mistakes to Watch Out For
Using the same checklist for every applicant. Your relationship documents depend on who’s applying, so check the correct applicant type before preparing your files.
Letting a minor apply alone. If you’re 17 years old or younger, your parent or legal guardian should apply for you.
Forgetting your Grade 12 Report Card. This is required across all applicant types, and it’s also used to check your 90% minimum average.
Forgetting your college acceptance document. Your Grade 12 Report Card alone isn’t enough. You also need an Acceptance Letter from your college or university or another accepted similar document.
Forgetting your Good Moral Certificate. This is a separate requirement from your Report Card.
Applying while you already have another active scholarship. You shouldn’t already be receiving another active scholarship or educational assistance.
Choosing a medical course. Medical courses are excluded from the scholarship’s STEM coverage.
Assuming only certain universities are covered. You can enroll in any college or university in the Philippines, as long as your other requirements and degree program meet the rules.
Preparing the wrong relationship document. A spouse, sibling, child, and legal guardian don’t use the same documents, so follow the checklist for your specific situation.
