Preferred term

education allowance  

Definition

  • An education allowance is broadly understood as a stipend or other payment made by public funds or from an employer to an employee undergoing training for a certain period, usually outside the normal place of work. More narrowly understood and as used here, it is a stipend or other payment program where the target employees are mid-career or late-career, and the practice thus not part of initial education and training.
