SWITCH FOR STUDENTS
Every license plate purchased through the University of Utah Office of Alumni Relations’ License Plate Scholarship Program helps financially support hundreds of U students.
With an annual contribution of only $40 (one-time new plate fees apply), you can make a lasting impact on the lives of students. With your support, we awarded more than $650,000 in scholarships for the last academic year to more than 180 current U students.
This year, you can choose from two different options—the block U plate or back-by-popular-demand interlocking U plate!
