Starting [September 2025 rollout], you’ll now request your stipend each week through the Student Portal:

đź’µ When will I receive my stipend?
- Stipends are sent to your PayPal account by 6 p.m. CST each Monday.
- If Monday is a holiday, stipends will be processed the next business day.
⚠️ If you don’t see your stipend
If your stipend hasn’t arrived by Tuesday:
- Double-check that you submitted your weekly stipend request in the Student Portal.
- Confirm that your attendance was reported by your school.
- If both are complete, contact FreeWorld Support for help.
