Tagged for Success Scholarship
The UWA National Alumni Association’s Tagged for Success program has funded upward of $200,000.00 in scholarships since its inception. To be considered for a Tagged for Success scholarship, a student must be a junior or senior Alabama resident with a 3.0 or higher GPA.
The Tagged for Success scholarship is uniquely funded by the purchase of an official UWA State of Alabama license plate. UWA’s collegiate license plate is available to Alabama passenger vehicle and motorcycle owners. UWA supporters can get the plate when registering a vehicle or renewing registration at the local tag office in any Alabama county that issues license plates. No additional documentation is required aside from materials required for a standard plate.
The cost of the collegiate plate is an additional $50.00, of which $48.75 goes into the UWA National Alumni Association’s “Tagged for Success” scholarship to help students succeed at UWA.
On August 1, 2023, UWA launched a new design for the collegiate license plate, featuring red and white University branding, including a sleek and fierce red and white tiger profile.
Pre-numbered plates are available, or drivers can choose to personalize their inscription with up to six numbers or letters. There is no additional charge for personalization.
Supporters and alumni often personalize their plates with their class year, a college nickname, greek or social affiliations, athletic accomplishments, and more.
A personalization can be reserved for up to five business days using the Alabama Department of Revenue’s Motor Vehicle Title Registration & Insurance Portal, MVTRIP. To begin a reservation, users can access MVTRIP by visiting revenue.alabama.gov, selecting PROS (Plate Reservation and Ordering System) under the reservation section.
Your purchase of the UWA State of Alabama license plate allows you to display your Tiger pride and directly contributes to the success of scholarship recipients.
