The short version
- Separate the stipend amount from tuition remission.
- Duties and hour limits belong in writing.
- Ask what happens to aid if you leave the role mid-year.
Stipend line
Usually a fixed payment for a term or year in exchange for defined work.
Tuition support
May cover full or partial tuition; fees are sometimes excluded.
Work expectations

Questions to ask
Health insurance, summer funding and renewal criteria are fair topics.
Stipenova is an information website, not a school, college, lender, scholarship service, or government agency. We never decide aid, lend money, or refer you to programs, and we keep what you send us to ourselves. Treat every guide as background reading, not financial, legal, or admissions advice.
