A movement is underway to get a Fort Lewis College version of the Colorado license plate, and supporters are encouraged to sign a petition to make it so.
“The vast majority of four-year colleges in Colorado have one,” said Dave Kerns, director of Alumni Engagement. “I looked at several other schools online, and it appears they get $50 for each license plate sold.”
Money raised will go to the Alumni Scholarship Fund to help children of alumni attend the college. According to Sandy Jameson, who manages scholarships for the FLC Foundation, the fund gave 35 scholarships for the 2014-15 school year. Kerns said they range from $500 to $5,000.
Visit www.fortlewis.edu/alumni/BenefitsServices/LicensePlatePetition.aspx to sign the petition. You must be a Colorado resident to sign. The petition will go to the Colorado Department of Transportation for approval.
“I’ll be grinning ear-to-ear the first time I pull behind a car with a Fort Lewis license plate,” Kerns said.
