Ride with Pride!
Through the Purdue "Ride with Pride" program, you
can show your support of Purdue while also helping
to support the University's General Scholarship Fund.
The license plate program, which began in 1991, has
raised more than $4,000,000 for scholarships.
To participate, you purchase a special Purdue plate
to replace your standard state license plate. In Indiana,
the plate is legal for passenger cars, recreational
vehicles, and trucks that weigh less than 11,000 pounds.
** Now available, Purdue collegiate motorcycle plates! **
How to Purchase
Purdue plates are available in Indiana and may soon
be available in other states as well.
Purchasing in Indiana:
Purchasing a Purdue license plate is easy!
To purchase or renew,
simply go to your local BMV office and request the
Purdue Plate.
Due to changes in the Purdue License Plate Program,
a form is no longer needed, but the $25 donation is
required each year to keep the plate. This donation
will be made at the license branch with your other
fees and will be included on the registration form
you receive from the state.
The process can be completed either by mail or in
person.
You may renew your Purdue plate by e-mail or by using any express renewal service offered by the BMV, including phone, online, or self-service terminals.
Purchasing Outside Indiana:
Purdue is currently working on getting other states
to participate. If you'd like to help get your state
involved, see below..

How to Get
Your State Involved
Getting Started
- Contact your state BMV to find out if out-of-state
collegiate plates are allowed.
- Obtain from your state BMV requirements for getting
a Purdue plate issued in that state.
- In many states, someone from an alumni club, etc.
will need to be responsible for getting names, addresses,
and money collected for the initial order and for
working with the BMV and Purdue on the design
of the plate, etc.
Each State is Different
Each state has its own regulations for specialty
license plates. Some, such as Illinois, require
an act of the State Legislature for issuing any specialty
plate for an out-of-state organization.
There are several states that might allow a Purdue
plate but will require a minimum number of participants.
Purdue plates are currently available in Delaware, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
Some states have been asked but currently do not
allow an out-of-state program. These include:
- Colorado
- Michigan
- South Carolina
- Florida
- Ohio
- Texas
- Illinois
- Wisconsin
