BigFuture Ambassador Program FAQ
FAQ
Can I sign up to be a BigFuture Ambassador on my own?
Yes, all you have to do is apply via the application on our webpage. The application for the Fall 2025 semester will close on Monday, August 25.
Can any student sign up to be an Ambassador?
The BigFuture Ambassador program is open to 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders regardless of whether you’re interested in a four-year college, two-year college, or career training. Students under the age of 13 cannot sign up to be a BigFuture Ambassador. Ambassadors must currently attend high schools in the United States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, or any other U.S. territories and possessions or attend a Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) school overseas. Previous Ambassadors who wish to continue are required to apply each semester.
When does the program start and end?
The Fall 2025 program runs from September 2025 to December 2025.
What if I can’t post on social media or join Discord?
If you don’t post on social media or join Discord, participation in the program may be challenging. Ambassadors do everything they can to share BigFuture often with as many people as possible. Every Ambassador will have their own link to share with friends. If you don’t use social media, sharing your link and participating in Ambassador programming will be hard. Ambassadors also use Discord to stay in touch with each other and the BigFuture team.
How will you help Ambassadors share BigFuture?
Every Ambassador will receive their own link and QR code to regularly share BigFuture throughout the fall. We will share new social media graphics to help share BigFuture along with sharing toolkits weekly to make continuous sharing as easy as possible.
When are Ambassador meetings?
We will host meetings throughout the semester from September to December. Below are our meeting times for the semester:
Kickoff Meeting: Monday, September 15th at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT or Tuesday, September 16th at 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT
Mid-program Meeting: Monday, November 3rd at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT or Tuesday, November 4th at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
End of Program Celebration: Monday, December 15th at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT or Tuesday, December 16th at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
There is the possibility for smaller workshop-style meetings to be hosted during the semester based on interest and demand.
How do you select Ambassadors?
The BigFuture Ambassador program is open to 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. All students are eligible to apply, regardless of whether you’re interested in a four-year college, two-year college, or career training. We’re looking for students who:
- Use BigFuture frequently

Our Fall 2025 Ambassador applications are open!
How do I apply, and is there a deadline?
You can apply via our application. Applications are open for the Fall 2025 cohort and will close on Monday, August 25. All applicants will receive a status notification email in the afternoon on Friday, September 5.
When will I find out if I’m accepted?
All applicants who apply by the application deadline will be notified via the email on their application in the afternoon on Friday, September 5. If you don’t see an email in your inbox, we encourage you to check your spam.
Why do students become Ambassadors?
Past Ambassadors stepped up because they wanted to help their friends. They also appreciated the recognition they earn for their leadership. BigFuture will notify your school if you’re selected for the program. You can also include this activity on your college applications or resume. Ambassadors can earn merch through our competitions that recognize students for sharing BigFuture.org with their links and QR codes.
Why is there an application to be in the program?
The demand for this program is greater than the number of students we’re able to support, which is why we have an application. We hope to grow more in the future. If you’re not accepted to participate this term, we encourage you to apply again in the future and sign up for BigFuture Live and our other programs.
