Four Santa Monica College students have received Transfer Alliance Program scholarships from UCLA that they will use when they begin classes at the Westwood campus this fall.
In all, 65 TAP scholarships were awarded to community college transfer students to UCLA from throughout the state.
Selection as a TAP Scholar entitles the transfer student to an academic scholarship of at least $5,000 a year. The scholarship is renewable for a second year if students have achieved a B or better grade point average at UCLA, completed 45 units by fall 2007 and have participated in or are committed to doing undergraduate research.
The SMC transfer students receiving the scholarships are Maia Baghashvili of Glendale, Alfred Wade Hartoon of Los Angeles and Tyna Ahdout and Parham Zarrini, both of Beverly Hills.
