Frost Law, UB establish fellowship and scholarship program

Frost Law and The University of Baltimore School of Law have partnered to form the Frost Law and Tax Practice Scholar Award, a program that seeks to encourage and reward students interested in pursuing a career in tax law.

The collaboration involves Frost Law providing at least two UBalt Law students with a paid, 10-week summer fellowship each spring to support experiential learning and professional growth, a Frost Law release says, adding that “outstanding fellows” may be awarded a $10,000 scholarship toward their next academic year. 

Although the dual effort aims to identify students with – or pursuing – a CPA license, high-performing students in other areas of legal study are eligible for the fellowships, according to Frost Law.

“The University of Baltimore School of Law enjoys a history of developing excellent students, and Frost Law looks forward to furthering this tradition through the new scholarship and fellowship program,” said Frost Law founder and managing partner Glen Frost, also a UB alum. 

“This initiative creates opportunities that will open doors for both students and Frost Law.”

Headquartered in the Washington, D.C., area, Frost Law has offices in Annapolis, Baltimore, Columbia, Rockville, Frederick and Columbia, in addition to offices in Northern Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and Florida. The practice’s areas of specialty include taxes, business, litigation and estates.

The joint initiative between UB and Frost Law is expected to span at least three years and will begin immediately, the firm said. 

Frost Law said it  plans to hire Juris Doctor students for a summer fellowship with the firm as the University of Baltimore Foundation will begin administering funds for the Frost Law and Tax Practice Scholar Award in the upcoming fall semester, following the announcement of inaugural award recipients in August.

“This support creates a meaningful opportunity for our students to deepen their interest in tax law while gaining practical experience through paid fellowships with Frost Law,” said UB President Kurt Schmoke, who also served as Baltimore City’s mayor from 1987 to 1999. 

“The new program will strengthen the connection between classroom learning and practice and will do so in a way that reflects the values of this institution.”
