Scott Announced as Scholarship Winner

Baltimore, Md. - St. Mary's College of Maryland's Allie Scott (Laurel, Md./Atholton) was one of the nine recipients of the Provident Way Scholarship at the Fourth Annual Provident Bank Pride of Maryland Division III Men's Basketball Scholarship Tournament in November.

Provident Bank provided each of the nine institutions participating in the Provident Pride of Maryland Tournament with a $1,000 scholarship.  The tournament took place November 25, 29, and 30 and the tournament title was captured by St. Mary's.

Scott was chosen by St. Mary's as the school's recipient of the scholarship as she exemplifies the Provident Way, a set of defining characteristics developed by Provident employees to express the bank's culture and distinction.  Those characteristics include integrity, caring, excellence, partnership and a results-driven attitude.

Scott and the other eight winners were recognized prior to the start of the championship contest on November 30 at Stevenson University.

A 5-10, senior forward, Scott is a sports management major at St. Mary's.  She has started her senior campaign on the right foot as Scott is averaging 15.6 points and 9.3 rebounds to pace the Seahawks in their 2-6 start to the season.  She also leads the squad with a .467 three-point field goal percentage.
