Grice Scholarship

Boise State alumni Beverly and Roy Grice founded the Grice scholarship for teacher education students because they believe in the transformative power education can have on people’s lives.

Placing a high value on education is something both Roy and Beverly said was instilled in them by their parents. They attribute Beverly’s success as an educator and Roy’s successful business career to a quality education at Boise State. Now they’ve returned to share their wishes and dreams for Boise State students who are studying to become teachers.
