Show Your Pride with a UAMS Plate
These official state license plates help you display your pride for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) wherever you go, while also providing scholarship support for students attending UAMS. For every UAMS license plate issued, UAMS receives $25. Completed forms must be mailed or brought to a revenue office where the plates are available.

The plates are the brainchild of a UAMS medical student, Diego Espinoza of Fayetteville, a 2014 graduate. As a second-year medical student in 2011, he led the effort to create the new license plate. “I had seen specialty plates for other universities and organizations in the state and was surprised that UAMS didn’t have one,” he said. He pitched the idea to students his first year at school with the help of a potential plate design put together by his younger brother, Daniel. The project gained steam after he ran it by College of Medicine and UAMS marketing administrators, who worked with the state to create the new plate.
Espinoza, who has one of the plates himself, said he’s happy that students, employees and Arkansans have a fun way to show their support for UAMS. “That the license plate purchases will provide scholarship funds is icing on the cake for me,” he said.
