Volunteer Scholarship—Jury Meeting and Random Selection Process: The First Ten Scholarship Recipients Have Been Selected

On June 13, 2026, the jury met to select recipients for the first Wuppertal Volunteer Scholarship. The jury discussed which young volunteers would receive one of the ten scholarships.

The jury awarded five scholarships. The remaining five scholarships were then awarded through a random drawing.

This finalizes the first cohort of the Wuppertal Volunteer Scholarship. All applicants were subsequently informed of the results. Starting in July, the ten scholarship recipients will receive a monthly stipend of 150 euros for twelve months. There will also be a support program, which is currently still being developed.
