Georgetown College License Plates
Show Your GC Pride with a New License Plate
Georgetown College, along with the other nineteen of
Kentucky’s nonprofit, independent four-year colleges and universities, will
have entirely new, campus-designed plates
available for purchase from the Kentucky County Clerks offices.
Plates cost $44 upon initial issue, including the $10 for student scholarships (because these new plates replace the previous version, all Independent Higher Education plates will be $44 during the first year). Renewal is $31 in subsequent years. Current plate holders interested in renewing early should check with their local County Clerk about renewal policies.
There is a friendly competition among the institutions, “battle of the bumpers,” to see which campus can sell the most plates annually. Currently, Georgetown College ranks third in sales behind Centre College and Transylvania University.
This is the first time that the institutions which constitute the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU) have been able to design their own distinct Kentucky license plates for purchase by alumni, students, faculty, staff and other supporters of their institutions.
The license plates are designed to increase awareness of independent higher education options in Kentucky and to raise funds for student scholarships.
The plates have proven extremely popular. There is a friendly competition among the institutions — nicknamed the “battle of the bumpers” — to see which campus can sell the most plates annually. Currently, Georgetown College ranks third in sales behind Centre College and Transylvania University. It’s anticipated that the new designs will increase interest in the plates and the competition, ultimately raising more money to support student scholarships.
How do you purchase a Georgetown license plate?
