Spartan License Plates

Ride with Pride

MSU license plates provide a great way to both show your Spartan pride and support the university. A portion of the fees associated with the Michigan State license plate comes back to the university to support student scholarships and programming. In the state of Michigan, that amount is $25 of the $35 fee.

Hundreds of thousands of MSU specialty plates are on the road in Michigan, more than for any other non-profit or university. Spartan plates are also offered in a number of other states. Be sure to check with your state's department of motor vehicles to learn more as these options change frequently.
