Everything about Stipend totally explained
A
stipend is a form of payment or salary, such as for an
internship or
apprenticeship. Stipends are usually lower than what would be expected as a permanent salary for similar work. This is because the stipend is complemented by other benefits such as accreditation, instruction, work experience, food and/ or accommodation. Universities usually refer to money paid to graduate research assistants as a stipend, rather than as wages, to reflect complementary benefits.
Stipends are also utilized by non-profits or organizations working with oppressed or other less represented groups of people such as youth. These organizations may stipend youth at a high rate to empower them to do work. Stipends to clients are usually higher then the usual hourly rate but last for less then a year. Many non-profits will pay three dollars over the local minimum wage. Often such positions are created from successful grant applications.
In some Catholic circles, a
Mass stipend is the payment, which is generally nominal, to a priest for saying a
Divine Liturgy or
Mass (liturgy). Usually a donation, it ranges at times from $5 in a small parish to $50 for larger parishes or major events. Weddings and funerals typically have much larger donations given, but that's usually at the discretion of the family or individual in question. However, it's immoral to demand payment for a sacrament, and stipends are seen as gifts.
The term also has a specific use in the
Church of England, meaning the salary of a
stipendiary minister, one who receives payment directly from the
diocese (as opposed to other forms of disbursement such as free use of a house in return for clerical duties, known as house-for-duty).
