ABA Tax Section, Tax Analysts Public Service Fellowship:

The application for the 2024-2026 Tax Analysts Public Service Fellowship is now available! The Tax Analysts Public Service Fellowship was created in response to a need for tax legal assistance for low-income taxpayers, to foster a greater interest in tax-related public service and to provide seasoned attorneys the opportunity to move into the public interest sector. The applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning April 1, 2024. Submit completed applications (and any questions) to taxlserve@americanbar.org.

What is the Tax Analysts Public Service Fellowship?
In response to a need for tax legal assistance for low-income taxpayers, to foster a greater interest in tax-related public service and to provide seasoned attorneys the opportunity to move into the public interest sector, the ABA Section of Taxation and Tax Analysts have developed a unique new fellowship to deepen the tax practice in organizations representing low-income taxpayers.

The fellowship will build on the success of the Section’s fellowship for recent law school graduates, the Christine A. Brunswick Public Service Fellowship, established in 2008.

Applicants will be expected to identify and secure a position with a Sponsoring Organization before applying for the Tax Analysts Public Service Fellowship. All Fellowships must involve taxation or administration of tax law and must be with a public interest, non-profit organization, or a government entity. Each fellow is expected to make a two-year commitment to the Sponsoring Organization.

The goal of the Loretta Collins Argrett Fellowship (“the Fellowship”) is to identify, engage, and infuse historically underrepresented individuals into the Section, create a more accessible, equitable, and inclusive pathway into Section leadership, and support the expansion, diversification, and inclusiveness of the tax profession to create a space and sense of belonging for those looking to become involved with the Section.

The Loretta Collins Argrett Fellowship is a three-year program.  Applicants need not be members of the Section or ABA. Each year, the Section will award a maximum of five (5) Fellowships, renewable for up-to three years. Please review the application deadline, dates, and requirements above.
