What you get

Four perks, from the day you're accepted

$50 of credit, every month

It lands on the 1st, and your first month arrives the day you're accepted. Unused credit carries over, so a busy month costs you nothing.

25% off every top-up

Added to whatever discount a credit pack already has, so a large pack comes to 45% off.

$10 for every referral

Share your link or your code. When someone you bring subscribes to Pro or Ultra, $10 of Trace credit is yours.

A direct line to the founders

Your questions, and what your campus needs, go straight to the people building Trace.

Questions
Who can apply?
Any current student with a school email, at any university in any country, in any year of study. You don't need PCB experience, just the will to get people building.
Is the program paid?

How do referrals count?
Someone signs up with your link, or enters your code before they subscribe. Once they pay for Pro or Ultra and the payment has stood for 14 days, $10 of credit is added to your account.
What's expected of me?
A few hours a week, spent however works on your campus. Be honest about Trace, and always say you're a Trace ambassador when you share your code.
What happens when I graduate?
The program is for current students. Credit already on your account stays yours.
