The ABA Tax Section is accepting applications for Christine A. Brunswick Public Service Fellowships for 2025-2027:

The application period for the 2025-2027 class of Christine A. Brunswick Public Service Fellows is now open. The deadline for applications is Friday, November 8, 2024.

The ABA Tax Section has operated this fellowship since 2008 with impressive impact on communities throughout the country. In addition to representing low-income taxpayers and completing a public service project, prior fellows have gone on to careers in public interest tax, clerkships, private tax practice, academia, and government and have held leadership positions throughout the Tax Section. The fellowship provides two years of funding to practice public interest tax law at a qualifying host organization and free travel, lodging, and registration to the main Tax Section meetings. To learn more about the opportunity and to access the application materials please see the ABA Tax Section website here.

What is the Christine A. Brunswick Public Service Fellowship?
The Public Service Fellowship (PSF) program was developed in 2008 to address the need for tax legal assistance, and to foster an interest in tax-related public service. In 2013, it was re-named the Christine A. Brunswick Public Service Fellowship in honor of the late Christine A. Brunswick, the Section’s former Executive Director for over 20 years. The fellowships are funded entirely by tax-deductible donations to the Tax Section’s Tax Assistance Public Service (TAPS) Endowment Fund. 

The Section awards up to two Fellowships annually to recent law school graduates or judicial clerks working in public interest tax law with a non-profit organization or government entity (the “Sponsoring Organization”).  The Section provides an unrestricted grant to the Sponsoring Organization for two years equal to the Fellow’s salary and benefits.
