UCLA Gets $300,000 Gift for Minority Programs
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has committed $300,000 to support minority student programs at the John E. Anderson Graduate School of Management at UCLA.
The foundation’s support, to be given in $100,000 installments over three years, will provide for several new initiatives to augment existing minority education programs at the school.
Among them are a two-week program of instruction in preparation for courses in the first quarter of the Master of Business Administration degree program; curricular enrichment sessions in courses available to African-American, Latino and Native American MBA students, and an initiative to bring minority speakers to the UCLA campus.
The Sloan Foundation was established in 1934 by Alfred P. Sloan Jr., former chairman of General Motors Corp.
