WHAT IS THE PUBLIC SERVICE FELLOWSHIP?


WHAT IS THE PUBLIC SERVICE FELLOWSHIP?

The ABA Tax Section developed the Public Service Fellowship to help non-profits fill the need for tax legal service assistance around the country, and to foster an interest in tax-related public service for young lawyers. The Section awards up to two Public Service Fellowships each year to recent law school graduates or judicial clerks, to serve in tax-related public service positions for two years. Applicants secure employment with 501(c)(3) organizations, and the Section provides salary and benefit reimbursement directly to those organizations.
WHERE WILL YOU WORK?

The proposed employment must involve taxation or administration of tax law and must be with a public-interest, non-profit section 501(c)(3) organization (the “Sponsoring Organization”). Each Fellow commits to serve a two-year term with the Sponsoring Organization. The applicant must identify and secure a position with a Sponsoring Organization before applying for the Fellowship (although the position may be contingent upon award of the Fellowship).
