The scholarship program is named after former WCS Vocational Director Arlene Peterson, who helped implement CTE programs at area high schools.  This is the seventh year for the scholarship program.  In the past, the scholarships ranged from $250 to $1,000 each.  This year, the Rotary Club awarded four $1,500 scholarships, bringing the total amount of money invested by the Rotary Club of Cool Springs in Williamson County graduates to $15,550 over a seven year period.  Listed below are the 2008 Arlene Peterson Memorial Scholarship recipients.
