$3,600 Claude Campus Ambassador Program

About this opportunity

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, pays students to lead AI communities on their own campus across the 2026 to 2027 school year. Three tracks run side by side: undergraduates lead a Claude Builder Club, master's students lead Claude Campus Conversations, and PhD students and postdoctoral researchers lead Claude for Science workshops. Every selected ambassador receives a USD 3,600 cash stipend, and Anthropic states it is free both to apply and to take part.

What you get:

A USD 3,600 cash stipend, which Anthropic states all selected campus ambassadors receive, subject to program terms
AI workshops led by the Anthropic team, and Anthropic guest speakers for the events you run
A place in a global ambassador community of students from around the world
A channel to Anthropic teams on Claude features and product ideas, which Anthropic says can influence how Claude is developed
Grad track only: a visit to the Anthropic office
PhD and postdoc track only: engagement with Anthropic scientists on workshops and research, and speaker events with Anthropic's math and science teams

What you'll do:

Undergraduates: set up and lead a Claude Builder Club on campus, organise technical and non-technical workshops, run hackathons and demo nights, and share updates, tips and resources such as API credits with members
Master's students: host discussion groups and events with fellow students on the big questions in AI and society, and create spaces for students to showcase and discuss what they have built with Claude
PhDs and postdocs: lead a community of AI-native PhD scientists and postdocs on campus, organise Claude for Science workshops, and build expertise on how AI is changing science fields

Key dates:
