Tax Law Review Scholarship
The Tax Law Review will award a scholarship for the 2008-09 academic year to a student who will serve as a student editor. The TLR is a faculty-edited journal of tax policy. The winners of the TLR Scholarships serve as student editors (along with five LL.M. scholarship winners), who do cite-checking, proofreading, etc. The scholarship is one-half tuition. This involves a commitment of approximately 15 hours a week.
Usually, one of these scholarships is awarded to J.D./LL.M. (tax) students. Those who are eligible to apply are current second-year students who are interested in the joint degree. A student must have completed basic income taxation; priority will be given to a student who has taken an additional tax course(s). This is a merit-based scholarship; selection will be based on NYU performance, college performance, work experience, writing ability, etc.
A student who is interested in applying for the scholarship should submit the following to Professor Deborah Schenk, editor-in-chief, in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 430 by the end of the exam period: 1) a letter indicating your interest, 2) a law school transcript (unofficial is okay), 3) a résumé, and 4) a writing sample.
If you have questions, see Professor Schenk in Vanderbilt Hall, Room 430H or call her at (212) 998-6163. The scholarship recipients will be chosen after spring grades have been submitted.
