Mentee Stipends
How much stipend will I receive?
Stipend amounts are calculated based on your location.
How is my location determined?
Your location is determined by where you currently reside, that is, your country of current residence. If you are enrolled at an online institution or are a recent graduate, your stipend is determined by the location of your permanent residence.
How are the stipend amounts determined?
We are using a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)-based calculation to determine the stipend. We start with a base amount of 6,000 USD and then adjust it based on each country's PPP value. There is a minimum (1,000 USD) and maximum (6,600 USD) stipend amount. The base amount takes into consideration the fact that many universities are in urban centers, which can be more expensive than in other parts of the country. We review these amounts periodically to keep them aligned with industry standards and economic conditions.
