Hah! It's interesting you mentioned this, the first thing that popped into my thought was... They're using the membership fees to pay for one or a few of these scholarships.  Since not everyone will get the scholarship, they have to "get some cash flow ready" to get the qualified applicants and the number of scholarships available set.  It's another option other than having a "donate/gift" page like some universities have...

Quote:After completing all the Executive and Advanced classes, I was able to give the transcript to my university (the University of Central Oklahoma) and the courses counted for 9 credit hours towards my degree electives. This was a huge deal at the end of my college journey, as I was able to take my final capstone in the summer and receive my degree without another semester of schooling. I did accept the special discount for paying for the Advanced and Executive classes right when I enrolled in the NSLS otherwise it would have been a lot more money.... The classes do take some time to complete. They give you like 2 1/2 years to finish all of them... the main reason, and most importantly for most people, I believe, is the possibility to turn your work into college credit.
