Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind Claude, has opened applications for its Claude Campus Ambassadors Programme, giving students and researchers an opportunity to gain practical experience in artificial intelligence while taking part in campus-focused activities.
The programme is designed to encourage students to explore AI, organise educational events and build communities around responsible use of AI tools. Selected campus ambassadors will also receive financial support, making the opportunity particularly attractive to students interested in developing AI leadership skills.
According to programme details reported on September 3, selected participants will receive a cash stipend of USD 3,600, approximately ₹3.39 lakh, subject to the programme's terms and conditions.
Who Can Apply?
The Claude Campus Ambassadors Programme is aimed at students across different stages of higher education. Reports indicate that the programme has separate tracks for undergraduate students, graduate students, PhD scholars and postdoctoral researchers.
Applicants should have an interest in artificial intelligence and be willing to participate in activities that help their campus community understand and use AI technology.
Undergraduate ambassadors can take part in activities such as workshops, hackathons, demonstrations and Claude Builder Clubs. Graduate students can participate in discussions around AI, education and society, while research-oriented participants can engage with AI-focused academic communities.
What Does the Programme Offer?
Apart from the USD 3,600 stipend, selected ambassadors can receive access to AI-related resources, workshops and networking opportunities. The programme is intended to give participants practical exposure to AI leadership rather than simply classroom-based learning.
Participants may also receive opportunities to organise campus events and connect with Anthropic's broader AI community.
Application Deadline
According to reports published on September 3, applications for the current Claude Campus Ambassadors Programme are expected to close on September 12, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The programme is scheduled to continue through June 2027.
Students interested in applying should carefully review the official programme terms and eligibility requirements before submitting an application.
Why the Programme Matters
The launch comes as universities and students increasingly explore generative AI for education, research, coding and productivity. Anthropic's campus initiative could provide students with an opportunity to gain practical experience while helping their peers understand the possibilities and limitations of AI.
The programme also reflects the growing competition among major AI companies to build relationships with the next generation of developers, researchers and technology leaders.
Students should note that the Claude Campus Ambassadors Programme is distinct from Anthropic's Claude Corps fellowship, which has different eligibility requirements, including US work authorization and an early-career work-experience limit.
With a sizeable stipend and opportunities to develop AI leadership experience, the Claude Campus Ambassadors Programme could be an attractive opportunity for eligible students looking to strengthen their profile in the rapidly expanding artificial-intelligence sector
