The Educational Stipend Program is intended to provide financial support for students who assume paraprofessional positions of responsibility. Often these positions are within student incidental fee-funded programs, co-curricular programs, and a number of student organizations that have established a history with the University and provide an inherent contribution to the student life experience at Portland State.
The Educational Stipend Policy was developed to enhance access to student leadership positions, to provide an additional mechanism for recognizing the valuable contributions student leaders make to co-curricular life, to provide a more stable infrastructure for a core group of student co-curricular programs and organizations, and to adequately compensate students who are working to provide a student-initiated and -funded University service. The Educational Stipend Policy is not intended to fully compensate student leaders for all of their contributions. The nature of these opportunities is such that they provide paraprofessional experiences that have significant educational benefits.
