License Plates

When you purchase the NDSU vehicle license plate, you:

  • You show your Bison Pride.
  • You support student and alumni programs. The State of North Dakota returns $15 from each plate fee to the Foundation. This fee supports programs like the student Bison Ambassador organization, Alumni Career Center services, homecoming/reunion events, broadcast email messaging to alumni and friends, and other public relations opportunities.
