stipend

Fixed periodic payment

A stipend is a fixed, regular payment—usually modest—given to support someone during training, study, or unpaid work.

Unlike wages, stipends aren't compensation for labor but rather allowances to cover living expenses: The internship includes a small stipend.

Graduate students, clergy, and interns commonly receive stipends rather than salaries.
