Plate Scholars

Your plate purchase makes a difference in LSU students鈥� lives.

  • Your entire purchase price (except for a few dollars in OMV administrative fees) funds scholarships for LSU students. Almost all of your LSU license plate purchase is eligible for the charitable tax deduction.

  • Scholarships close the access gap for students with financial need and attract the best and brightest students at all socioeconomic levels. Your support ensures that they can stay focused on their studies and reach their dreams of earning an LSU degree.

  • If you or your spouse is an LSU alumnus and you report your purchase to us, your plate purchase will count toward LSU鈥檚 alumni giving participation rate, which impacts LSU鈥檚 standing in national rankings like U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 Best Colleges. 

Meet a few of the LSU students supported by your plate purchase.

鈥淚 plan on pursuing a graduate degree in economics, which I can use to research in the future. I would love to delve deeper into developing countries鈥� economics and establish methods to alleviate poverty and encourage industrial development in third-world countries.鈥�

鈥淩ight now, the connection between psychology and neuroscience on the molecular level is very vague. I鈥檓 hoping that the gap between the two subjects can be bridged to help give us a better, more concrete understanding of psychology, which would lead to better forms of clinical therapy.鈥�

鈥淭here are not many Black women who advance in my field behind the camera, especially in editing. While progress has definitely been made, it is still a majorly White, male-dominated field. My career doesn鈥檛 have to be the most prolific one, but I hope to be visible enough to be the representation I sorely needed when I was younger.鈥�
