McClelland, Dr. Charles Alexander Endowed Scholarship
The Dr. Charles Alexander McClelland Endowed Scholarship was established with gifts totaling $100,000 by Donald W. McClelland and his wife, Jane Heacock McClelland, and his brother, George B. McClelland, and his wife, Helen, in honor of Dr. Charles A. McClelland, a 1933 premedical graduate of The University of Akron. Dr. McClelland graduated from Western Reserve Medical School in 1937. After a four-year residency in internal medicine at Cleveland City Hospital, he settled in Paris, Ill., where he practiced medicine all his life and served the community with great distinction. The fund was established to provide scholarships to premedical students in their junior or senior year at The University of Akron. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of outstanding academic achievement and need. The award is made on the recommendation of the head of the Department of Biology and the Department Scholarship Committee.
