In total, SCN is investing $100,000 to supplement the cost of these summer studentships, providing a valuable hands-on experience for the awardees. At the end of August, students will present their project progress at the Virtual SCN Summer Studentship Symposium, and the two top undergraduates will be supported by SCN to attend and present a poster of their work at the 2024 Till and McCulloch Meetings (TMM2024), happening November 4-6 in Montreal.
