Whether you’re an alum, student, parent, employee, or friend, you can show your school spirit on the road with a DeSales University specialty Pennsylvania license plate.

For a Standard Plate the cost is $60. PennDOT charges a $40 fee per plate, and any remaining proceeds subitizes alumni activities and special events. This option is for anyone who does not want to choose their numbers or letters.

For a Personalized Plate, the cost is $185. PennDOT charges a $170 fee, and the remaining amount supports alumni activities and special events.

Please read and complete Section D of the application if you’d like a personalized plate. This option is for anyone who wants to choose their own letters or numbers, or for those who already have a specialty plate and would like it to be reprinted, for example, if you already have “Frankie64” and want to use the same combination on this new plate.
