Like if a job pays a “monthly stipend” what does that mean?

Its usually a smaller payment to reimburse someone for costs associated with the job. Its basically a salary, but for people who wouldn't get a salary.

Like students, you might get a job at a college. Most of your "pay" might be room and board, and you wouldn't get a salary, but they pay a small stipend.
