"Ten members of Jamaica's next generation of innovators are now pursuing another year of tertiary-level studies, having received scholarships valued at $145,000 each from Digicel.
The company said the students — who are pursuing studies in the fields of information and communications technology, computer science, digital marketing and communications — were selected because of their strong digital focus and mindset, along with having successfully maintained a grade point average (GPA) of 3.4 or higher throughout their years of study.
“Innovation is one of the things Digicel is known for, and so we understand the importance of creating opportunities for upcoming innovators to shine. This is why we have focused our 2019 scholarships upon young achievers who are pursuing studies in the fields of technology and digital innovation. Our investment in their future is a tremendous asset for the digitally connected society that we are working to create,” commented CEO of Digicel Jamaica, Allison Philbert."
