Campus ambassador programme, 2026-27
Bring Alfred Scholar to your campus.
Help students and researchers at your university or college read, cite and write their research in one place. You run small demos, start reading circles and tell us what your campus needs. Students anywhere in the world can apply.
What the programme is
Alfred Scholar is a research workspace for students and academics. You upload your papers and ask questions about them, and every answer points to the page it came from. When the answer is not in your papers, Alfred says so instead of guessing.
Campus ambassadors are students who show their classmates and lab mates how to use it. You learn the product well, run small sessions and pass on what you hear.
- Who can apply
- Students aged 18 or older, currently enrolled in an undergraduate, postgraduate or PhD programme at any university or college, anywhere in the world.
- Time it takes
- At least 3 hours a day, planned around your classes and exams.
What ambassadors do
The work is practical and small in scale. Most of it happens in places you already go.
- Show it in person
- Run short walkthroughs in your lab, department or study group. Show peers how to ask a question about a paper and check the page it cites.
- Start a reading circle
- Bring together students working on literature reviews or theses to share how they read, cite and write.
- Share it honestly
- Tell people you are an Alfred Scholar ambassador when you share it. Describe only what the product does today.
- Pass on what you hear
- Tell the Alfred Scholar team what students and faculty at your college ask for, struggle with and like.
What you get
- An appointment letter
- Issued by Alfred Scholar when you are selected, for your CV and LinkedIn.
- Earnings and rewards
- Ambassadors can earn on what they bring in. The terms are set out in the ambassador agreement, which we share when you are selected.
