St. Francis Xavier University in Canada has announced that it is now accepting applications for its scholarship program from international students who are interested in studying at the institution. The St. Francis Xavier University scholarship program is fully funded and covers both tuition fees and other expenses related to the successful candidates’ studies.

The program is designed for students looking to pursue a Master of Science degree and will commence in September 2024.

The project will focus on the mutualism between unicellular green algae and egg masses of the salamander species, Ambystoma maculatum, across a latitudinal gradient.

The participating student will have hands-on experience in collecting material, handling material from, and collaborating with partners in the US.
