...Last summer, for example, Harris spent eight weeks with free housing and on a $1,500 stipend attending the Charles Koch Seminar. Through the seminar, he was able to meet other libertarian college students and spend six weeks in an internship at the Cato Institute. The force behind the majority of these libertarian contacts and grants is the Institute for Humane Studies. The Institute prides itself on promoting policies aimed at liberty—typically in the form of libertarianism among college and graduate students. This aid materializes in the form of internships, summer seminars, and annual donations of around...
Once Sherif is deemed fit for release, he will be sent home and, like the 700 or so others who have been discharged by the center, monitored indefinitely. Ex-detainees are given a monthly stipend--typically about $700--and sometimes a new car. Family members are enlisted to help watch over these men, who are strongly encouraged to start families of their own. Having children, the thinking goes, lessens the temptation to rejoin the jihad, which is why the program makes available upwards of $20,000 for an ex-detainee's wedding...

Consequently, the College should look into offering a stipend for qualifying students who want to store or ship their belongings off campus but cannot afford to do so. Nonetheless, the College’s storage system works remarkably well. Students should appreciate it rather than griping about...
...tutoring and teaching in urban schools; managing after-school programs; cleaning up playgrounds, schools and parks; and caring for the elderly. After Katrina, AmeriCorps participants descended on the Gulf Coast within 24 hours and have since contributed more than 3 million hours of service. AmeriCorps members earn a small stipend for their volunteering and receive education awards of up to $4,725 per year. Right now, says David Eisner, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, "AmeriCorps is the best-kept secret in America." But under this national-service proposal, the program would more than triple in size...
