Plates On, Horns Up!

FOR THE FIRST TIME in 14 years, USF has a new specialty license plate for Bulls fans who never leave home without their pride. The bold design captures the spirit of this exciting new era in the university’s young life with striking colors and features that stand out on the road.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles began issuing the new plates in August. USF receives $25 for each plate purchased to support scholarships, student programs such as the Alumni Association-sponsored Student Ambassadors and Student Alumni Association, and other alumni engagement activities.

“Adopting a new USF license plate is one more way to showcase our Bull pride, all while providing more resources to benefit students,” says USF System President Judy Genshaft.

The cost for the plates, which is in addition to motor vehicle registration fees, varies depending on several factors, including where motorists are in their registration cycle. Find all the details at bullsplate.org or inquire at your local tax collector’s office.

“Our alumni are excited about the new plate. Visually, it makes a big statement, whether it’s on an individual car or a whole parking lot full of Bulls’ vehicles,” says Bill McCausland, executive director of the Alumni Association. “The license plate program funds a scholarship endowment that now totals over $1.3 million and has awarded more than $400,000 in scholarships to deserving USF students.”
