License Plates

License Plates

Every day, Purdue University alumni and friends demonstrate their Boilermaker pride and commitment in a variety of meaningful ways. This includes purchasing and displaying a Purdue fundraiser license plate featuring the Motion P logo from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). 

The Purdue Motion P has come to be recognized in Indiana, across the United States and around the world as a distinctive symbol of Purdue and what it means to be a Boilermaker. At a glance, the Purdue Motion P communicates Purdue’s tradition of excellence and its commitment to advancing the common good in uncommon ways.

The BMV license plate program, which began in 1991, has raised millions of dollars for the Purdue Scholarship Fund. An established annual donation is required to purchase the plate in addition to other vehicle registration fees. To learn more about the license plate program, visit the Purdue for Life Foundation website.
