Three Santa Monica College students have received Transfer Alliance Program scholarships from UCLA that they will use when they begin classes at the Westwood campus Sept. 29.

In all, 27 TAP scholarships were awarded to community college transfer students to UCLA from throughout the state.

SMC transfer students Esther F. Rivera, Irina Y. Shef and Tanishia Geneiver Wright will each receive $4,000 a year for two years. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic merit and financial need.
