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.
Coming from the Latin stipendium, which means âtax, pay, or gift,â the noun stipend is defined as a regular, unchanging payment usually given as reward for services, but sometimes given as an allowance with no services or expectations attached.
