is the 9k stipend a stanford thing only??

lime onyx

the only way i can actually get paid is through SURF

no

stuck onyx
lime onyx

most colleges have a SURF

but what it can be used for varies

I discussed with the sesur program head Jenny she said I'm recieving a 9k stipend

pomona's endowment is tiny

ig they have like 5 people at that school

research still gets a good chunk

pls yale has a $45B endowment and the most they could pay for tickets to london for a conference was $200

crisp lodge
