“God bless Alyce Travers. That’s probably what we say frequently in Bowman County. Many, many, many – hundreds – of our students have benefited,” says Bowman County High School Counselor Pam Fisher.
Born in 1913 in Minnesota, Alyce Travers graduated from a South Dakota high school. She married John Travers and the couple lived and ranched in Harding County, S.D. The couple remained childless, so after her husband died, Alyce established the John and Alyce B. Travers Scholarship, putting her mineral rights into an educational trust.
