Students are paid a stipend of $250 per term. Six spots are open for each term.

Time commitment: This can vary from anywhere between 5 – 10 hours per week, including duties outside of meetings. Normally meetings will be either bi-weekly or monthly, depending on need (aside from the first four weeks).
