The Digital X Scholarship Programme (hereinafter referred to as the “Scholarship”) is a scholarship offered by Blue Hill Capital Pte Ltd (“BHI”). BHI is a philanthropy initiative created by the beneficiaries of a Singapore-based Single Family Office who are keen to pay it forward. BHI believes in giving back to society and has been providing grants to deserving recipients and communities through the years. One of BHI’s growing list of philanthropic initiatives is the setting up of this Scholarship to benefit the local business community.

Through this Scholarship, BHI aims to support passionate local business owners to bring their business to the next level. To that end, BHI will be partnering Zion Global Marketing Pte Ltd (“ZGM”) for the administration of the Digital Marketing Mentorship Programme (“Programme”) to directly benefit local businesses by providing them with the skills and tools they need to succeed.

ZGM is a pioneer in the digital marketing industry and has an established track record as an education and service provider in digital marketing.
