He became one of the 36 selected test subjects, another of whom was Jasper "Jay" Garner, who by chance happened to have been at Woodstock School with Scholberg as an eight-year-old. Scholberg enrolled in graduate-level courses to learn French while he was involved in the year-long experiment, having soon exhausted the possibilities of the beginners' classes that were offered by a fellow test subject, the Princeton University graduate Sam Legg. During the course of the experiment, his weight dropped from to . In 1954, Scholberg was awarded a B.S. in Social Sciences from the University of Minnesota. He added an M.A. in Library Science from the same university in 1962. After some time spent as a librarian and athletics coach at Columbia Heights High School in Minnesota, Scholberg returned to the University of Minnesota in 1961 as the first director of the Ames Library of South Asia, whose collection had recently been donated to the university by Charles Leslie Ames. A series of promotions through the academic ranks led to him becoming a full professor in 1979. He became a professor emeritus when he retired in 1986, at which time he also relinquished his position as director of the library. During his time in office, the library's collections grew from 25,000 items to over 105,000.

Among his caregivers at the nursing home were people from Nepal, who gave him much pleasure by speaking to him in Hindi, the tongue that he always considered to be his first language.

He traveled to over 40 countries, often with his family, and had extended periods of residence in India (1964 and 1976) and Paris (1967 and 1969).
