Give $30 to PSU and qualify for a plate!

Any gift of $30 or more to Pittsburg State University qualifies you for a Gorilla License Plate. You must renew or get your new plate within twelve months of your gift. You can also receive multiple plates based on the size of your gift divisible by $30. All plates must be applied for or renewed through the Office of Alumni & Constituent Relations. Gifts may still be made to the Alumni Legacy License Plate Scholarship Fund. It is easier and quicker than ever to get your plate so do it now!

How the program works:

WHO QUALIFIES

If you are a Kansas resident who owns or leases a passenger vehicle or truck registered in Kansas, you qualify for a Gorilla License Plate. Effective July 1, 1999 vehicles with a gross weight of 12,000, 16,000 or 20,000 pounds are also eligible for these plates. The educational license plate program only provides one plate per vehicle.

EFFECTIVE DATE & RENEWAL

The Pitt State License Plate is valid for at least five years based on annual renewal of the plate through a gift to PSU and annual vehicle registration.

GETTING YOUR PLATE

You may order a tag at any time by contacting the Office of Alumni and Constituent Relations first and then proceeding to your county office.. When you get a tag in 2009 before your regular renewal time, you won't have to pay the $30 annual fee again until 2010.

FEE PAYMENT & VOUCHER

To get your plate, you have two options. You can make a gift of $30 to Pittsburg State University and then apply for or renew your plates within 12 months; or you can pay $30, which is tax deductible, to the PSU Alumni Legacy License Plate Scholarship fund where $25 goes to scholarships and $5 towards an administrative fee. The Alumni Association will issue a "proof of purchase" voucher to you.

Your county treasurer will collect the annual "proof of purchase" voucher and issue your license plate upon vehicle registration fees. There is a specialty plate fee of $40 to the state. In addition, there is a one time $5.50 fee to manufacture the plate. These fees and other applicable state or county fees will be payable to the county treasurer when you pick up your plate.

SORRY, NO PERSONALIZATION

The legislation creating the university license plates does not provide for personalization of the tags with words or phrases. The tag numbers are issued at random.
