If you are using Python 2.6 or better, you should be able to include the 
option "--user" when installing Scipy using either pip or distutils. I 
haven't tried these, but:

# using pip:
pip install --install-option="--user" scipy


If that fails, follow the advice given here to install from svn:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2213551/installing-scipy-with-pip


pip install --install-option="--user" git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/


Otherwise, if you are installing from source using distutils, add the 
--user option directly:

python setup.py install --user scipy



Does this help?
