Show your support for University of Illinois by purchasing a set of collegiate license plates! The collegiate license plate program provides special recognition for Illinois colleges and universities and creates a unique source of financial aid for Illinois college students.

The Secretary of State's office collects the fees for collegiate license plate sales and deposits the proceeds in the appropriate accounts. However, the Governor and the General Assembly have the authority under state law to reallocate those funds. A portion of the proceeds from collegiate license plate sales were reallocated to the state's General Revenue Fund in Fiscal Year 2006.
