I believe the answer is:

ambit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'scope' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'extent of limited ambition' is the second definition.
'ambit' can be an answer for 'extent' (ambit is a kind of extent). I am not certain of the 'of limited ambition' bit.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ambit that I've seen before include "Circuit, compass" , "Circumference" , "Compass, scope" , "Scope, extent, or bounds of something" , "Range - surroundings" .)
