A stipend is a fixed, regular payment, usually meant to pay for something specific. It's kind of like an allowance, but for grownups â a college scholarship might include a stipend each semester for books, for example.
The main difference between a salary and a stipend is the fact that a salary is paid in return for the work provided by an employee to the employer, whereas a stipend is paid to supplement the intern or apprentice for the time they put in to learn the trade, as opposed to the work they do.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.
