Crossword Genius

Doctor used entries for scholarship (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eruditeness

'scholarship' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'doctor used entries' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'used'+'entries'='usedentries'
'usedentries' with letters rearranged gives 'ERUDITENESS'.

'for' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
