A stipend is a fixed, regular payment given to individuals, often as financial support rather than as wages. It is commonly provided to interns, trainees, researchers, or volunteers to help cover living or travel expenses while they gain experience or contribute to a project. Unlike a salary, a stipend may not be tied to hourly work or employment benefits.

Instead of a full salary, a stipend is a fixed, recurring payment made to an individual for labor, training, or participation. It is frequently utilized for volunteer work, research positions, internships, and apprenticeships. While a person receives training or experience, stipends assist in paying for necessities of life or educational costs.
