What is the ECHO Award?
The ECHO Award is awarded to students from one of the countries in Africa, Latin America, or Asia, or Turkey, who are actively involved in society and distinguish themselves through innovation in thinking and acting, organizational skills, creating social impact and their role as a 'critical friend'. The winners will be rewarded with a fully catered Summer Course at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the United States in 2025.
How can I apply / nominate?
