stipends

Regular modest compensation

Stipends are fixed, regular payments—typically modest sums given to support someone during training, study, or an unpaid position rather than as wages for work.

Graduate students receive stipends, as do interns and clergy.

The word suggests subsistence-level support rather than competitive compensation: The fellowship includes a small stipend and health insurance.

Singular: stipend.
