Peel created the Tricia M. Peel Scholarship Fund in 2002 with the Bellevue Foundation to honor his wife and others who pursue a career in nursing. The initial funding came from significant personal injury cases handled by Peel.

She has been awarded the Dean's Scholarship by Union University as well as the Hope Scholarship of Tennessee and the Tennessee Scholars recognition.
