its a special statute, where you get a tax free allowance (not a bad one really) while you do the Doctorate...
Something to do with promoting the effort of the doctorate, so it can be done objectively

Depends on the subject area. The true sciences, those things that don’t have science in the name, like physics, chemistry, math, biology, and economics you get paid first few years as a teaching assistant, then later your advisor pays you from their grant money. It ain’t a lot.
At Vanderbilt it was teaching labs, typically while you are taking classes. I did a year of freshman, then a semester of organic, and lastly one of p-chem…cause the 40W argon ion pump laser died (tube filled with coolant water) and it ate up all the grant money to repair. So I was back ‘working’ for my supper and still doing research.
In other ‘sciences’, those that have science in the name, like social sciences, some get research stipends, many do not.
