The Discovery Center Angie Traverse Memorial Scholarship

Angie Traverse was a wonderful mother, an adoring wife, and a great friend to many.  Her creativity, courage, and caring nature strongly touched the lives of nearly all who crossed her path.  For years to come, her artwork at the Discovery Center will continue to help identify this wonderful place that has touched the lives of so many young people.
Any college-bound student who possesses these “Angie-like” qualities is eligible for this scholarship.
