Why should I be an Outstanding Scholar?
Outstanding Scholars report that they learn more deeply because of the research they are doing. They have the chance to learn who the thought leaders are in their field, and meet them at conferences. Some scholars discover new career pathways for themselves, publish articles in peer reviewed journals, or travel overseas to extend their research. All this, on top of the money earned for your research work.
