Are students paid for their work at field education sites?
All students must receive a stipend of $3,500 for the academic year (or summer) for their field education work. Students are paid directly by the site. In a few cases where there is an exceptional field education opportunity at a site that cannot afford the stipend, the field education office will negotiate with the site and a student may then receive a stipend through the seminary. Of course, any student appointed or employed by a church would not receive additional funds.
