St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, announced on November 13, 2026, the establishment of the Levangie Morrison Scholarship, created by alumni Cindy (Levangie) Morrison, class of 1978, and Archie Morrison, class of 1979. The scholarship supports an incoming female varsity student-athlete who combines athletic dedication with strong character, campus involvement and financial need.

The scholarship is valued at 10,000 dollars in the first year and is renewable with good academic standing at 7,500 dollars a year for a further three years.

The first recipient is Gwyneth Galloway, a first-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing student from Upper Dyke, Nova Scotia, who plays with the X-Women rugby team. Galloway, who played soccer, hockey and rugby in high school, said the award has helped make it possible to pursue both nursing and rugby.

Cindy and Archie Morrison met at StFX and raised six children, all of whom studied there. Cindy played two varsity sports and was named female athlete of the year as a student; Archie, a retired oral and maxillofacial surgeon, took part in surgical missions to Vietnam and North Africa operating on babies, children and some adults with cleft lip and palate. The couple said they hope the award helps students realize their potential, on and off the field.
