Aaliyah Moore, a graduate of Central High School in Phoenix and junior at Bates College, has won a prestigious Truman Scholarship. According to Bates College, Moore will pursue graduate studies to build her skills in advocacy, research, and education, then tackle systematic disparities within the U.S. legal and foster-care systems. Federally funded Truman Scholarships, which are awarded to students with demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to public service, are considered among the most important U.S. graduate fellowships. Moore is one of 62 recipients of a Truman Scholarship from more than 700 applicants this year. The scholarships provide up to $30,000 for graduate study as well as leadership training, career and graduate school counseling, and federal government internship opportunities.

Caroline O'Reilly of Longmeadow, Mass., has received an offer for a prestigious Fulbright Student award for the coming 2018-19 academic year.
