- (a) A program may provide a stipend for service activities for a participant who is a student if the provision of stipends in reasonable in the context of a program's design and objectives.
  - (1) A program may not provide a stipend to a student who is receiving academic credit for service activities unless the service activities require a substantial time commitment beyond that expected for the credit earned.
  - (2) A participant who is earning money for service activities under the work-study program described in [§ 2519.200(e)](/cfr/45/2519.200.md?p=e) may not receive an additional stipend from funds under this part.
- (b) Consistent with the AmeriCorps program requirements in [§ 2522.100](/cfr/45/2522.100.md) of this chapter, a program with participants serving in approved full-time AmeriCorps positions must ensure the provision of a living allowance and, if necessary, health care and child care to those participants.
