What is a "volunteer internship" And is it any less legit/effective than a position that is just called an "internship"??

Found a grants and fundraising position that's called a "volunteer internship". This confused me, since I have usually seen "volunteer" roles and "internship" roles as separate categories. So what's the difference between a "volunteer internship" and a normal "internship"? Would a "volunteer internship" mean less mentorship, not enough learning experience, etc.? Or, is the only difference between this "volunteer internship" and other normal "internships" that it's a nonprofit organization, and potentially unpaid (it was stated that "a small stipend may be available depending on future funding")? It still seems that I would get helpful experience through this role, since I have no grant writing experience. I also got a pretty quick response to my application (literally same day as I applied), and I only had to submit my resume. Both of these details made me wonder if this would lean more into the "volunteer" side than the "internship" side.

How do I differentiate myself as a new grad software engineer in the job search process among all others equally or more qualified engineers #Spring25?

I am a junior in college studying Computer Science. I have 2 more semesters left to graduate. I keep applying to jobs but seldom hear back. I have prior research, internship, and leadership experiences but I feel like it is the same with everyone in the field right now. I would appreciate tips to differentiate myself among others in the field.
