Westwood : Upward Bound Proposal Wins

UCLA’s Upward Bound, which helps prepare low-income students for college, was one of eight programs nationwide whose proposal for funds received a top score in a competition held by the U. S. Department of Education, officials announced.

The UCLA proposal by program Director Linda Stevens was among 500 entries nationwide. As a result of its high score, Upward Bound will receive funding through 1989, officials said.
