Emily Scott Memorial Scholarship
The Centennial High School community and Scott family established the Emily Scott Memorial Scholarship to honor the life and legacy of this inspiring young woman, who passed away suddenly on May 23, 2022.
Emily was a 2018 graduate of Centennial High School. She was an amazing student, friend, sister, and daughter. She defied all the odds throughout her 25 years on Earth. Emily participated in Best Buddies at Centennial High School and went on to attend The Athelas Institute in Columbia. Emily loved dancing and singing to her favorite artists, Raffi and Laurie Berkner, visiting the carousel at the Columbia Mall, going on walks around Centennial Park with her family, swinging on various swings around Howard County, and eating chocolate chip cookies and butterscotch pudding. She also made sure everyone stayed on schedule! Emily had an infectious smile, tireless determination and effusive enthusiasm. She was kind, funny, and happily clapped and stomped up and down the school hallways unlike anyone else!
The Emily Scott Memorial Scholarship will support Centennial High School students who have demonstrated a passion for embracing acceptance and helping others. This scholarship embodies the values Emily and her family worked towards throughout her life: acceptance and kindness.
