Stipend Payment Reminders

As a reminder, stipends are nominal sums of money provided to support participation in research, training or other academic activities. Although taxes are not deducted from stipend payments, the funds are considered taxable income.

When submitting a stipend payment request, please keep the following in mind: 

• The AP-303 Stipend Payment Request has been created to assist departments with these types of requests.
• Assign an invoice number, such as Smith1of3,2026.
• Use the end of the service period as the stipend payment date, not the beginning.
• Confirm that the recipient address listed on the request matches the address in PaymentWorks.
• Employees are not permitted to receive stipends.
• Submit the payment request in ServiceNow 2-3 weeks before the end of service date.

Additional information about stipends can be found in the university’s Payables Guide.
