Financial Empowerment Fellowship

CSUN’s Financial Empowerment Fellowship is a unique opportunity for incoming Taxation students to receive up to $9,000 in funding.


As a Fellow, you would receive a two-year annual award of $2,500 to $4,500*, conferred at the end of each spring term. And if chosen, you would also receive extensive, in-person tax preparation training, much of it at CSUN’s award-winning VITA Clinic.


To apply, please fill out your name, email and attach a letter of interest expressing why you should be considered for the fellowship.


*Award amounts vary depending on the Fellowship track you choose (150 vs. 270 hours of clinical training).

Please use the same email that was used on your application.

Upload a short letter explaining to the committee why you are interested in this fellowship.
