Lois Ann Dickson Fitt Rice (February 28, 1933 – January 4, 2017) was an American corporate executive, scholar, and education policy expert.[1] Known as the ‘‘mother of the Pell Grant” [2] because of her work lobbying for its creation,[1][3] she was national vice president of the College Board from 1973 until 1981.[4] According to the Wall Street Journal, she was “among the first wave of African-American women serving on boards of major US corporations,”[3] and under president Bill Clinton, she was a member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.[1] For years, she was an economic studies expert at the Brookings Institution concentrating on education policy.[5][1]
