On the recordSeptember 18, 1997
According to the article in the Washington Post, which I submitted for the Record a moment ago, by Stephen Barr writing about the Woodrow Wilson Living Memorial--and I quote now: The Center annually selects about 35 fellows who receive an average stipend of $43,000 and spend their time studying and writing. Also if one does math of the $12,500,000 budget, roughly, of the program, I believe about $1.7 million of that is allocated for the stipend. And if you divide that number it averages out to something over $40,000 a year. So that is where I got my information that the average stipend is about $43,000.
