KyCPA 25-26 Student Ambassador Application

Student Ambassadors will be responsible for approximately 30 hours of work per school year in order to achieve three primary objectives:

- Building awareness of FREE KyCPA student membership benefits to students and educators on your campus.
- Increasing the visibility of KyCPA on your campus.
- Strengthening ties between KyCPA and your school.

Eligibility Requirements:

- KyCPA student member
- Currently attending a college or university as an accounting major with the intention of pursuing a CPA license
- Completed or currently enrolled (Fall 2025 semester) in intermediate accounting
- 3.0 GPA or above in major related courses
- Students must have a professor recommend them and fill out this form by September 5

This is a year long commitment. You will be matched up with a current CPA to act as your mentor, and will work with KyCPA staff to complete your objectives. You will host a few events to fulfill your responsibilities, examples are: setting up a table in your business school to talk about KyCPA, speaking in your accounting class for the first 5 minutes, collaborating with your accounting club/Beta Alpha Psi to create a fun event to talk about KyCPA, etc.

At the end of the school year, assuming you've reasonably fulfilled your duties, you will receive a $500 bonus.
