Website: Robert G. Peterson Memorial Scholarship

Description

The Western Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators has established a scholarship in memory of Robert G. "Pete" Peterson. Chief Peterson served as Director of Public Safety/Chief of Police at Western Washington University from 1968 until his death in 1989. He was co-founder and charter member of the Washington Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, now known as the Western Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators. Chief Peterson held several offices in the Association, serving as Treasurer for several years prior to his death.

The Association offers two scholarships annually. The award is in the form of a check for $500.00 payable to the college or university in which the recipient is enrolled and may be used for any purpose. Its intent is to help defray some of the costs of attending the college.
