What does stipends mean?

Question

whats the definition

Answer 1

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 instruction, work experience, food, accommodation, and personal satisfaction. Universities usually refer to money paid to graduate research assistants as a stipend, rather than as wages, to reflect complementary benefits.

Answer 2

Too bad you don't have a dictionary.
A stipend is a fixed regular payment over a fixed period of time. Teachers have a stipend, as they don't work on an hourly rate.
Preachers have a stipend, as they get an annual salary. It's just another word for fixed salary.
