CU License Plates
.
Wherever you go, show your Buffs pride with a ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ license plate! Anyone is eligible for CU plates — you do not have to be an alum. Plates are currently available in Colorado, Texas and Maryland.
When you purchase a CU specialty plate, you’ll be contributing $50 toward the Alumni Association’s student scholarship fund. These scholarships help offset the cost of a CU education — and for some, help make their education possible.
Support the next generation of Forever Buffs while showing your CU pride on the road!
