Collegiate License Plates

Show your pride all over the state with your own collegiate license plate

Missouri Western State University and the St. Joseph Junior College alumni, family, and friends in Missouri can show their pride and support by ordering collegiate license plates through the Missouri Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Bureau.

In order to receive the plates, the Department of Revenue requires individuals to make a minimum $25 contribution per year to the university. Stop by Leah Spratt Hall, Room 106, to make a donation and pick up your personalized plate application (these applications can also be picked up at the license bureau).

After you make your donation, Western will issue you an Emblem Use Authorization Statement. The authorization statement is proof that you donated to Missouri Western and must be sent with the personalized plate application to the Motor Vehicle Bureau in Jefferson City (address is on application).
