Honorarium/Stipend

Guidelines and instructions for requesting honorariums and stipends.

Honorarium

An honorarium is a payment of money, or another thing of value, to a person for her/his participation in a usual academic activity for which no fee is required. An honorarium is not a salary nor any other compensation for services rendered continuously. It is a token of appreciation in lieu of payment for services rendered by professional persons.

Honorarium Form

Download the honorarium form and complete only the highlighted sections below. Submit the form to Terri Moss (tlmarti4@ncsu ) for non-grants and Petya Radey (pdradey@ncsu.edu) for grants.

How it Works

  • If you want to give an honorarium but the recipient is not set up as a supplier with NC State or their information has changed, Terri Moss will send them an invitation to register with Payment Works.
  • The department/faculty determines the appropriate amount to pay an individual or guest who performs a service for your department.
  • Honorariums are paid on a small purchase voucher.
  • The department can elect to pay just an honorarium to the non-employee in place of a travel reimbursement
  • When a department elects to pay for or reimburse travel expenses and the honorarium for services, those expenses should be paid on one Small Purchase Voucher. Do not process honorarium expenses through the Travel Center.

Stipend

A stipend is a fixed, regular sum of money paid at regular intervals. It is an allowance to help cover basic costs while receiving career training. Stipends are a non-compensatory requirement and cannot be used to pay for services.
