The Scholer-Peterson Concrete Conference is dedicated to promoting and improving the production, use, and placement of quality concrete and concrete products.

He received the Distinguished Service Award of the Highway Research Board in 1948, the Award of Merit of the American Society of Testing Materials in 1960, the Turner and Wason Awards of the American Concrete Institute and, in 1964, was named Kansas Engineer of the Year.
