Jacobs Project Support

The Jacobs Project Support (JPS) service provides the Cal making community with access to advanced fabrication technology and requires approved registration. JPS is a fully automated project-tracking system that notifies you of the state of your project as it is fabricated by our talented Design Staff. More information about who is eligible and how to register for the JPS can be found here: Makerspace Access

To support our students with significant financial need this summer, the Jacobs Institute will provide a need-based subsidy for students using the Jacobs Project Support (JPS) system. This credit will provide up to $25 towards materials and shipping costs for the Summer 2021 term. Students with significant financial need will apply to receive this subsidy and will be notified once their financial status has been verified. The subsidy will cover any applicable costs incurred throughout the Summer 2021 semester. The application for this subsidy, which also describes eligibility criteria, can be at the following link: JPS Materials & Shipping Subsidy Application
