KPMG Tax Scholarship The KPMG Tax Scholarship is made possible by the generosity of the tax professionals at KPMG and by matching grants from the KPMG Foundation. The award is based on merit and potential for success in the field of taxation. Leonard B. Terr Memorial Scholarship In honor of the late Leonard B. Terr, a former Tax Partner at Baker & McKenzie and an Adjunct Professor of Law, this $50,000 annual scholarship provides tuition assistance for a Tax LL.M. student who has demonstrated financial need, displays a commitment to pursuing a career in tax law and who embodies Georgetown's ideals of service to others.
