As a non-traditional student, Scott graduated from West Virginia University in 1996 with a BA in political science and psychology. While studying at WVU, Scott was chosen for two prestigious fellowships: the Frasure-Singleton Fellowship and the Judith A. Herndon Fellowship. Both fellowships allowed him to work with the Legislature. This experience, along with his classes in political science, deepened his interest in the legal profession. In 1996, Scott began attending West Virginia University College of Law.

?After graduation from law school, Scott practiced in multiple areas of law. Immediately after law school, he was selected as a law clerk to Honorable Herman Canady, Jr., in Kanawha County.
