Annette Cowart highlights global scholar programs in Wisconsin and Illinois that allow high school students to earn a global-scholar certificate on their transcripts. She writes, "Beyond the recognition, the real draws for civic-hearted youths emerging on the global scene are:

• to engage in a focused, guided global inquiry 
• to follow their passions and share their talents
• to develop soft skills
• to test their agency while creativity and idealism are burgeoning
• to understand and empathize with fellow human beings or groups, especially where human rights, equity, and inclusion are at risk
• to act with awareness and conviction on the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)"
