    Degree
In summary, the individual claims to have self-studied and acquired knowledge equivalent to a BsC in EECS, physics, chem, bio, and mathematics. They are considering pursuing a double major in bio and EECS to become a biology researcher at the NSA. However, the validity of their claim is questioned and it is advised that they obtain a degree and gain research experience before applying for such a position. It is also suggested that they take the GREs to demonstrate their knowledge.

My dream is to work in stem cell research. Along side, I would have lots of time to pursue more studies. For the fellowship, do you get 100000 individually?

Um, why are you asking here? Surely you can research this from the link I gave you. But my understanding (for what that's worth) is that you get $100,000 to do what you want over two years.

I think the many postings expressing doubt at what the OP has accomplished is ample evidence of why a degree - which certifies this - is necessary.
