Ask for a cost-of-living increase to her stipend

Explanation:

Inflation is term which states there is a increase in the price level for any goods or services.

In the context, a history graduate living in the United States received a stipend of 18,000 dollar. But there is a significant inflation that United States economy suffers. Thereby the cost of goods and the services available to the people increases rapidly. People now need to spend more on everything. Thus the graduate student needs to ask for the cost of living to be included in the stipend as the student now needs to spend more on living.
