Lara Moore Chosen as Fulbright Scholar
Irvine resident Lara Moore of Stanford University has been awarded a Fulbright grant to study in France.
Moore, the 1988 valedictorian at University High School in Irvine, will research early 19th-century France at the National Archives and Library in Paris for her doctoral dissertation.
“It will give me the chance to meet with French professors of history, exchange ideas and learn history from a French perspective,” said Moore.
She will receive $19,000, from the U.S. and French governments.
Moore earned a bachelor’s degree summa cum laude from Trinity University in San Antonio, where she majored in history and French. She received a master’s degree in library science and a master’s in history from UCLA in 1996.
Moore is one of about 800 U.S. graduate students who will travel abroad for the 1998-99 academic year through the Fulbright Student Program.
