About the Scholar template
Scholar puts a navy bar across the top of the page, sets your name in uppercase beneath it, and centres a short summary above an icon contact grid. Each section then runs as an uppercase label in a narrow left margin with the detail to its right, so a thin work history still fills the page cleanly.

- A solid accent bar across the very top of the page, above a centred uppercase name
- The summary centred in the header with no heading, followed by a two-column icon contact grid ruled row by row
- Section headings set as uppercase labels in a narrow left margin, with the content in the wider column beside them
- Employer and institution names in uppercase, with role, dates, GPA and honours stacked on separate lines
