Stipends. A stipend is a regular payment of money to an individual by the terms of a contract. Other benefits, such as food and housing, often accompany a stipend. Those earning a stipend aren't necessarily employees -- they may be agents, freelancers, interns or independent contractors. College students on scholarship, for example, may receive a stipend to defray living expenses on campus. Once the terms of the contract or agreement are fulfilled, the stipend comes to an end.
A stipend, on the other hand, is slightly different. It can be considered as a form of salary; however it is quite different from a traditional salary. A stipend is usually paid during the term of an internship or apprenticeship. It differs from a salary, as it is not paid as remuneration for work provided.In an internship or apprenticeship, it is expected that the person would not be providing quality work; instead, the person is there to learn.he stipend is usually less than a salary, and is expected to just cover the needs of the intern or apprentice, as opposed to the wants. In some instances, stipends may be paid in addition to some other benefits, such as accreditation, instruction, food, and/or accommodation.
