Alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends can now buy license plates that feature the UTA logo. The recently redesigned specialty plates cost an additional $30, but $22 of that comes back to the University for need-based scholarships. The application to purchase the plates may be downloaded through the Texas Department of Transportation Web site. Visit www.dot.state.tx.us/vtr/spplates/allplates.htm and click on The University of Texas at Arlington link. Or pick up an application at the tax assessor-collector’s office. Plates take approximately two weeks to process.  UTA must sell 1,000 license plates before Sept. 1 or its participation in the program will be eliminated.
