Tawny Bright of Waikoloa is the recipient of the inaugural Aviles and Stover Fund for Science.

Established by the medical practice of Dr. John D. Stover, D.D.S, M.D, Ph.D., the $1,000 annual, four-year scholarship is awarded to an entering Parker School freshman interested in science.

Bright was chosen by a school committee and received the scholarship at a recent academic awards ceremony in the Parker School Theatre.

“We established the scholarship as a permanent way to support education, particularly the sciences,” said Stover, a triple-board certified surgeon who resides in Waikoloa.

“We get many patients from the Waimea area and the need is there,” said Bayardo Aviles, Stover health care administrator. “We hope the award encourages students to go into the sciences, and perhaps medicine.”

With medical offices in Hilo, Kona and Waimea, Stover offers a broad menu of cosmetic services and products: oral and maxillofacial surgery, facial and general cosmetic surgery, non-surgical cosmetic procedures and cosmetic skin care.

A Big Island resident since 2001, Stover is a supporter of arts organizations – in schools and in the public sector. His benefactors include the Kahilu Theatre Foundation, Theatre Arts Conservatory, UH Performing Arts Center, Kona Music Society, Friends of the Palace Theatre, Kamuela Philharmonic, Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, Prince Dance and Kanilehua Chorale.
