Story
Robert and Frances Dice believed in service, education, and the importance of giving others a fair opportunity. Robert served in the Merchant Marines before dedicating 32 years as a Michigan conservation officer. Frances worked as a fourth‑grade math teacher, helping students build confidence and lifelong skills. Their son, David Dice, established the Robert and Frances Dice Scholarship in their honor to support graduating seniors, college students, and adult learners with financial need—particularly those who may be overlooked due to middle or lower academic achievement. Reflecting his parents’ values, David shared, “I’m just hoping that I can make a difference in someone’s life.” Through this scholarship, their legacy continues by opening doors for students striving to move forward.
