KyCPA Student Ambassador

Ambassador

Student Ambassadors are students passionate about the accounting profession and becoming CPAs. Ambassadors display strong leadership, organizational and communication skills.

KyCPA 25-26 Student Ambassadors

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

At the end of the school year, when they have reasonably fulfilled their duties, they will receive a $500 bonus.
