He joined the Rotary Club of Miami in 1939 and was an active member until his death in 1980. In his will, Mr. McClelland endowed a scholarship fund for medical school students. The initial bequest was $2.5 million. Through careful management by the trustees, the principal has grown to over $5 million. Using the income from the fund, the Rotary Club of Miami has awarded over 1,000 scholarships totaling more than $5.5 million to medical school students that graduated from a Miami-Dade County high school.
Besides financial management of the trust, Rotary Club of Miami members continue to evaluate applications, conduct interviews and recommend awardees. The time and effort required to fulfill the obligation and responsibility left to the club is significant. But, every member that has participated in the process has really enjoyed it. It is very satisfying to meet and help so many incredibly bright medical school students.
Medical school students who graduated from a high school in Miami-Dade County are encouraged to apply. The high school can be public or private. The students can be recently accepted and starting their first year, or they can be beginning their second or third year. Candidates can apply all three years of medical school regardless of whether they have been awarded previously. If you qualify, please complete an application.

Quoted from the page it was published on, word for word. This quote is cut off: we captured part of the sponsor's page, not all of it, so read the full text there before you apply. Where our summary above and this text disagree, this text is correct. Tell us and we'll fix the summary.
Our read on this award
3 figures we worked out, not the sponsor's. Free, and it takes an email address.
How these are worked out
- Our grade. From three facts the sponsor published. How few can apply: one high school or city 3 points, a county 2, the state 1, the whole country 0. How much it pays: $10,000 or more, or at least half of tuition, 3; $2,500 or more 2; $1,000 or more 1. Paid again in later years: 1. A is 4 points or more, B 3, C 2, D 0 or 1.
- How narrow the field is. Read from where the sponsor restricts it. An award open to one high school is competing against a graduating class.
- Conditions to meet. The conditions the sponsor published, each listed under Who can apply. More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
- None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.
