The fund, initiated through a $3.3 million bequest left by Bernard Bailey to MyMichigan, was established to further the goals of students pursuing clinical health care careers from an accredited college or university.

Interested applicants must be a resident or have immediate family living in any of the following Michigan counties: Bay, Clare, Gladwin, Gratiot, Isabella or Midland.

In the 2025-2026 school year, $194,500 was awarded to 99 students pursuing health care careers.
