Hi kunalk537,
The most we can offer for the grant is $100. Here are some suggestions for reducing the price:

• Select PCBA for only two boards rather than all 5. You will still receive all 5, but only two will have components.
• Select the default green soldermask and leaded HASL finish
• Make sure as many parts as possible are "Basic" or "Preferred Extended" parts; these parts have the $3 assembly fee waived. Here is the list: https://jlcpcb.com/parts/basic_parts
• Use a coupon by JLCPCB for a minor price reduction
• Assemble the PCB yourself with a stencil

If the cost still ends up above $100, send a message in [#onboard-help](https://slack.com/archives/C0593MG26TT) and I can help you pay the remainder with your own card.

Thanks!

Hello, thank you so much. I was planning to transfer the funds to my jlcpcb balance, add my own funds, then buy the pcb. I just wanted to try and cover as much of the cost as possible with the grant. I wasnt able to get the cost down, so I would love if I could have the grant and cover the rest with my own money. Thank you!

One more thing, is this for Hacky Holidays and or from a Tutorial?

[kunalk537]

Hi yes it is, its from a tutorial

[WolfGamer2]

So you will only get $50 dollars. I will send the grant if thats good!

[kunalk537]

Hey I am sorry, I thought this was for another usb board that I am making. I completely custom designed this board from scratch. I know this seems convenient, but I promise its true.

[WolfGamer2]

Oh ok, how will you be powering it? What kind of batteries?

[kunalk537]

Hi, it is powered by a USB power bank.

[kunalk537]

Thank you so much for your help!

[WolfGamer2]

Just checked -- your files are all correct but it seems like you haven't done the [verification form](https://verify.onboard.hackclub.com/) - we need this info to contact you and send your grant! Thank you!

[kunalk537]

Hi, I did the legacy form because that verification form wasnt working for me.

[WolfGamer2]

Oh ok

[WolfGamer2]
