Visiting Scholar Stipend Rates and Allowances
ECA has prioritized ensuring the well-being of our participants through robust stipends and allowances that keep pace with inflation and the ever-increasing costs of living in the United States. Beginning with the FY24 cohort, ECA will increase stipend levels and allowance rates for all visiting scholars whose grants are funded by ECA. Please find below a variety of resources outlining the new FY2024 rates.
