LOS ANGELES, CA, October 11, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — The Dr. Arthur A. Kezian DDS Science Scholarship committee received many qualified applicants for their 2023-2024 award year. The winner has been announced and Dr. Kezian would like to congratulate Iliana Acevedo on her exceptional application. The award was based on the candidate’s academic merit, community service, and need for financial assistance.
Dr. Kezian was so happy to see so many applicants, all whose main goal was to excel in their education. He wishes all current students the best in all their existing progress and encourages both them and prospective students to apply to scholarships as often as possible.
Iliana is a current Sophomore at WashU (Washington University in St. Louis) double majoring in Biology and Anthropology on the premedical track. She hopes to use her education to help overcome obstacles minorities face today. Diving into the rhetoric of medicine and the causes of inequity, by learning others’ experiences and sharing her own, she hope to guide the next generation, helping make medicine a more diverse and equitable field.
Iliana loves getting involved with her community and on campus is a part of several clubs. As a part of EST (Emergency Support Team), Iliana serves as an EMT providing free 24/7 service care to her peers. She also holds several positions on EST. She is currently on Selections, in charge of designing the interview process for new technicians to become a part of EST. Most recently, she also became a CPR instructor and holds free classes for students and faculty to become CPR certified. She has started a pilot program with a few of her team members that offers CPR classes in Spanish in order to address the health disparities in Hispanic communities. Due to the recent efforts of her team, WashU has been named a Heart Safe Campus and has received the Missouri Public Health Association Award.
