OnePlus Student Ambassador Program

SAP is a student-led community program where students build the OnePlus brand on their campus through content, events, and culture. It is not a traditional internship; it is a performance-driven community leadership program.

Students aged 18–24 who are active community builders with a strong interest in tech, gaming, AI, photography, or lifestyle, and who want to drive real impact on campus.

SAP focuses on three things: owning campus culture, building ecosystems, and driving measurable impact rather than simply promoting the brand.

No. SAP is completely free to join.

Typically, 6–9 months, aligned with academic cycles.

To apply, you must:

• Be currently enrolled in any UGC-recognised college or university in India
• Be aged between 18 and 24
• Own and actively use a OnePlus smartphone (mandatory)

The program is open nationwide. There is no restriction by city or institution ranking.

SAP is built on authentic advocacy. Ambassadors speak credibly about products they use daily. Applicants without a OnePlus device are not eligible for the current cohort.

Four stages: (1) Application submission, (2) A content-based task or assignment, (3) An interview round, and (4) Final onboarding.

Creativity and originality, consistency in content or community work, a strong campus presence, and a Never Settle mindset.

No. OnePlus values engagement over follower count and creativity over raw reach.

Create regular content based on briefs, drive campus engagement through gaming events, Masterclasses, and college fests, and collaborate and represent OnePlus authentically.

Yes. Ambassadors are aligned to two interest areas: Gaming and Lifestyle.

Approximately 3–4 hours per week on average, depending on your activity level and goals.

There is no conflict of interest with a directly competing smartphone or consumer electronics brand. When in doubt, contact your program manager before joining another program.

• Content rights:Original content you create remains yours; however, OnePlus is granted a non-exclusive licence to repost and amplify it across official channels with credit.
• Disclosure:Every sponsored post or brand-linked piece of content must carry a clear disclosure (e.g. #OnePlusAmbassador or #Ad) in line with ASCI guidelines.
• Confidentiality:Product information shared ahead of launch dates must be kept confidential until the official release.

No. SAP follows a performance-based model. Rewards are earned through points accumulated for output, engagement, and execution - not a fixed monthly stipend.

Gadgets (smartphones, tablets, audio devices), branded merchandise, vouchers, exclusive OnePlus experiences, and certificates.

There are four tiers. Points are calculated monthly by the internal dashboard.

• Content post (meets brief)
• Content post (featured by OnePlus)
• Hosting a campus event
• Event attendance driven
• Collaboration with another ambassador
• Monthly engagement milestone
• Points are reviewed monthly, and tiers are adjusted accordingly.

Strong performers move up tiers, unlock better rewards, gain more brand visibility, and access exclusive opportunities, including post-program retention.

You'll first receive structured feedback and a stipulated improvement period. If performance remains low after that window, you may be asked to exit the program.

Content should be authentic, campus-relevant, creator-first and not ad-like.
