About the ECHO Award

Students who are eligible for an ECHO Award are successful students with a non-Western background who stand out because of their entrepreneurial spirit, organizational skills, active social involvement and constructive approach to challenges related to exclusion.

The winners of the ECHO Award 2022 will be rewarded with a 6-week Summer Course at UCLA in the United States in 2023. They will be selected by an independent jury chaired by Mrs. Kathleen Ferrier, chair of the Dutch Unesco Commission.
