Yes! For approved high-quality projects, our sponsorship covers shipping costs.

Please note: Customs duties, tariffs, and local import taxes are not included in the sponsorship and remain the responsibility of the recipient.

If your project is selected, a member of our team will reach out to you via your academic email within 3–5 business days to discuss the sponsorship quota and next steps.

Q5: What factors determine the discount or grant amount I receive?

1. Project Detail & Completeness: A comprehensive project description, including your engineering goals, block diagrams, or preliminary bill of materials (BOM), helps us better understand your technical needs.
2. Project Impact: We highly welcome entries for recognized student competitions, academic research, university lab initiatives, and open-source hardware community projects.
3. NextPCB Brand Exposure: Sharing your journey brings mutual value. We appreciate it when teams can feature the NextPCB logo on the PCB silkscreen, project repositories (e.g., GitHub), or social media updates.
