KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska at Kearney is hoping to give students, alumni, staff and fans a new way to show their school pride — a specialty UNK Nebraska license plate.
The university is leading an effort to gather 250 signups for a UNK/Loper specialty plate. Anyone interested in a UNK license plate can register online at www.unk.edu/loperplates.
A minimum order of 250 is required by the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles for production of the plate. The specialty plates also come with a $70 fee.
The school attempted an organizational plate once before in 2012, when the minimum order was 500.
UNK spokeswoman Kelly Bartling says the school came close to filling the 500 orders, so officials feel confident they can get 250 sign-ups.
