Bridge-builders
The Loyens & Loeff Law & Tax Award is one of five categories of the ECHO awards which are awarded each year to outstanding students with non-western backgrounds who stand out because of their excellent study performance, outside-the-box thinking, bridge-building skills, active social engagement and leadership skills.
The five winners will be allowed to attend an all-expense paid summer course at the University of California in the United States.
