Wuppertal Volunteer Scholarship: 205 Applications to Start With

There is great interest in the new Wuppertal Volunteer Scholarship : By the application deadline on May 29, 2026, a total of 205 applications had been received.

The scholarship is aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 27 who are actively involved in volunteer work and could use financial support. Of the 205 applications received, 193 meet the formal criteria and will be considered in the selection process.

A look at the applications reveals just how diverse the group of interested applicants is: The average age is just under 21, with 17-year-olds making up the largest group of applicants (12.2 percent). 52.7 percent of applicants are female, 45.9 percent are male, and 1.5 percent identify as diverse.

The jury meeting will take place on June 13, followed immediately by the random drawing.
