The Comegys Bight Fellowship Program matches outstanding Washington College students with summer internships at some of the nation's leading historical and cultural institutions – and pays those students a stipend for their work. The program, offered through the College's C.V.

On campus, Scott is a peer mentor, the artistic director of the Independent Playhouse and a stage manager and scene shop assistant in the Gibson Center for the Arts. A graduate of Mount Pleasant High School, Scott is also the winner of a 2013 Frederick Douglass Fellowship.

Founded in 1782 under the patronage of George Washington, Washington College is a private, independent college of liberal arts and sciences located in colonial Chestertown on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
