ECHO Award 2026: Award for students with a migration background

The Diversity & Inclusion Office is pleased to announce that the call for the ECHO Award 2026 is now open. The ECHO Award recognises socially engaged students with a non-Western migration background who stand out through their leadership, social impact, and commitment to addressing systemic inequality.

Award winners will receive a fully funded Summer Course at UCLA in California, offering an opportunity to learn, connect with peers from across the Netherlands, and further develop their leadership skills.

Students can nominate themselves or be nominated by others. For more information about the criteria and how to submit a nomination, please visit the webpage below.

UG internal deadline: 19 May 2026, 23:59.

Let’s recognise and celebrate students who are driving positive change in our communities.
