Law Students Pursuing Tax Law Scholarship

Through this scholarship program, the Tax Section annually awards up to three $2,000 scholarships to students demonstrating excellence and commitment to the study and practice of tax law.

The purpose of this scholarship is to facilitate and encourage students to enter the practice of tax law in Texas, and to become active members of the State Bar Tax Section, by assisting these students with their financial needs. Selection criteria of the scholarships include: merit, scholarship performance, financial need, and demonstrated experience and interest in the field of tax law. Consideration is also given to extracurricular activities both inside and outside law school, including but not limited to legal externships or internships with state or federal taxing authorities such as the Internal Revenue Service, Office of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts or Texas-based legal aid societies and clinics.

• Must be enrolled in an ABA accredited law school at the time the application is submitted
