PURPOSE

Professional conferences are a helpful place for scholars from historically marginalized groups to build relationships with peers, role models, and mentors. The aim of the ATA Access Fellowship is to provide an opportunity for these scholars to participate in and network with the ATA community. The Fellowship provides travel funding to the ATA Midyear Meeting with the goal of creating long-lasting relationships within the ATA among scholars engaged in the theory and practice of taxation. The Fellowship will cover hotel and conference registration and provide a travel cost offset.

ELIGIBILITY

The Fellowship is open to all PhD and DBA students or early career graduates (fewer than 10 years since PhD/DBA) with interests in the theory, practice, research, and teaching of taxation, who are members of a historically marginalized group.
