However, voluntary work can compensate for weaker performance, since scholarship organisations not only value academic results but also social commitment, and take this into account in their decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your voluntary work also shows that you are willing to take on responsibility and have important skills such as teamwork, communication, empathy and organisational skills \u2013 skills that are valued in both the academic and professional world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteering can significantly strengthen your scholarship application and help you stand out from other applicants. Your volunteer work plays a particularly important role in scholarships that not only value academic achievement but also social responsibility or an interest in social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"Welches\"><strong><strong>Which voluntary work is relevant for a scholarship<\/strong><\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In principle, your voluntary work should have a visible social added value in order to positively influence your application. Funding organizations often attach great importance to the fact that your volunteer work fits in with their own activities and values. Specific volunteer activities could be, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social work<\/strong>: Volunteering in social institutions, such as helping the homeless, caring for the elderly, working with children and young people, or supporting female migrants and refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education and integration<\/strong>: Tutoring for disadvantaged students, language courses for female migrants, or mentoring programmes. But involvement as a school representative or in the student council is also welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nature and environmental conservation<\/strong>: Voluntary work in animal or environmental protection organisations or in climate protection projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Culture and art<\/strong>: Support for non-profit cultural projects, such as museums, theatre groups or cultural exchange programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sport: <\/strong>Coach at a sports club, organisation of sporting events<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rescue services: <\/strong>Involvement in the ambulance service and the voluntary fire brigade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find many of these opportunities for volunteering or social commitment on <a href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vostel.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find your voluntary position<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Kriterien\">What criteria must an honorary position fulfill?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/stipendium-1024x341.png\" alt=\"Person sitzt am Schreibtisch mit Unterlagen zum Lernen\" class=\"wp-image-14713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/stipendium-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/stipendium-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/stipendium-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/stipendium.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the thematic focus, the form of your commitment also plays a role.

There is no specific time frame that you have to adhere to for your volunteer work. However, it is of course a sign of conviction and commitment if you have already been volunteering for several months before applying.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-topics-are-relevant\">Which topics are relevant?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Involvement in areas that match the goals of the scholarship provider can increase your chances.
