License Plate Fundraising Program

Any individual or business with a vehicle registered in the state of Connecticut may purchase a UConn license plate. We encourage students, alumni, friends, parents, faculty, staff, and all loyal Husky fans in Connecticut to purchase the plate and support UConn.

The regular UConn plate (no special requests) costs $55. Each time you renew your vehicle registration, $55 is charged for the UConn plate in addition to your regular registration fees. Special request plates are available for additional fees.

Yes. When you first purchase the plate, $40 goes to UConn and can be counted as a tax-deductible gift. Upon each renewal of the UConn plate, $50 goes to UConn and is considered tax-deductible.

The proceeds from license plate sales help to fund UConn Alumni programs.

Yes. When you complete the UConn License Plate Application Form, include Section 4 “Vanity Plate Requests.” To request a new vanity plate the cost is $144, then for each renewal of your vanity plate, you will pay your regular fees plus $55. Any combination of letters and numbers, seven characters or less, is allowed.

When you complete the UConn License Plate Application Form, fill in sections 1-3. Under the UConn Plate order section, check the box that says “Maintain current plate number or current vanity/low number plate and change to UConn plate background.” To keep your plate number with a new UConn plate background, the cost is $75 in addition to your regular fees and then $55 upon each renewal of your UConn plate.

For regular UConn plates (no special requests), it will take approximately 6-8 weeks to receive your new plates in the mail.

For vanity plates, or if you are transferring your current plate number to a UConn plate, it will take approximately 6-8 weeks to receive your new plates in the mail.

Yes. Simply complete and print the UConn License Plate application form from this webpage and send a copy with your payment to DMV at the address listed on the form at any time. Please note that if your registration is due to expire within the next 45 days, you must renew your registration with DMV before purchasing a UConn license plate.

The additional fees provide sustained support for the University of Connecticut. The funds are used to enhance alumni services and outreach efforts. UConn receives $40 for each new plate and $50 for every renewal of the UConn plate. These amounts count as tax-deductible gifts to UConn.

The old UConn plate program has been discontinued and we are no longer offering that plate design. We hope you like the refreshed design and will choose to support UConn by purchasing a new UConn plate.

The UConn license plate program is managed by the UConn Foundation Office of Alumni Relations. If you have questions about the UConn plate program or if you need assistance, call (860) 486-2240 or email huskiesplate@uconnalumni.com.
