Ball State License Plates
Show your Cardinal pride on the highways and the byways—and support the Legacy Scholarship Program at the same time.
A Ball State license plate is a fun way to express your school spirit. But even better: $25 of your $40 special plate fee supports the Legacy Scholarship program. The Legacy Scholarship is made possible by license plate sales, allowing alumni and friends to support deserving in-state students while displaying their Cardinal pride on Indiana's roads.
Over 150 incoming freshman were selected to receive the Legacy Scholarship for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

Is It Time to Renew Your License Plates?
When renewing your license plate, be sure to select the Ball State plate and agree to allow the University to be notified of your purchase. This way, we can acknowledge your gift, and you'll receive a tax statement for that calendar year.
We'll only know of your gift if you opt to have the BMV share your contact information with us. Once notified, we'll send you a receipt and thank-you message acknowledging your $25 donation to the Legacy Scholarship.
