Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Arthur A. Kezian is re-launching his annual science scholarship for the 2026–2027 academic year, marking the 11th consecutive year his practice has funded the award. The program will provide $1,200 to one student to help cover educational expenses, continuing a tradition that has already supported a winner earlier this year. For details on that past recipient, visit https://www.drkezian.com/2026-scholarship-winner/.
According to the announcement, eligible applicants must be high school seniors through fourth-year undergraduates, aged 16 to 28, and majoring in a field of science. The award will be based on academic merit, community service, and financial need. The application window opens on November 1, 2026, and closes on March 31, 2027. The winner will be announced by September 2027. Students seeking full application instructions and eligibility details can visit the scholarship page at http://www.drkezian.com/science-scholarship/.
Dr. Kezian said he was inspired to continue the program after reviewing this year’s pool of applicants. “I’m so proud of all the applicants that applied to our scholarship. All the students were hard working, dedicated, and deserving of the award; but, like many other programs, there had to be one winner,” he said. “I want to thank each and every one of the applicants and applaud them for their achievements. I decided to start the scholarship again this year to give another student the chance to win. Rewarding students who have significant individual accomplishments can help them reach their objectives and strive for higher education.”
The scholarship comes amid rising concerns about college affordability, particularly for students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Even relatively modest awards can ease the burden of tuition, textbooks, and lab fees, and may allow recipients to reduce work hours and focus on their studies. For small businesses and professional practices, sponsoring such scholarships can also strengthen community ties and encourage local talent to pursue advanced training.
Dr. Kezian operates a dental office in the heart of Larchmont Village in Hollywood, where he provides cosmetic restorations, endodontic treatments, implant dentistry, emergency cases, and preventive dentistry. He has earned over 5,000 credit hours in numerous specialties and focuses on general and cosmetic dentistry, root canal therapy, periodontics, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and other procedures. His practice emphasizes patient comfort and involvement in dental decisions. More information about the practice is available at http://www.drkezian.com.
For students considering science careers, the scholarship represents a concrete opportunity to offset costs and gain recognition. The program’s emphasis on community service and financial need signals that achievement beyond the classroom is valued. As the 2026–2027 application cycle approaches, interested students should mark November 1, 2026, as the start date and plan to submit materials well before the March 31, 2027, deadline.
