BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University license plates are much more than automobile identifiers or symbols of school pride. They are a source of scholarship funds for IU students. This year, a portion of the revenue generated by the sale of IU license plates has provided $23,000 in scholarships for IU students.

Twenty-three students have been named IU Alumni Association Scholars for 2007-2008 and will each receive a $1,000 scholarship. Chosen based on financial need and academic achievement, IUAA Scholars are full-time undergraduate students who are sons and daughters of IU Alumni Association members.

The 2007-2008 IUAA Scholars are:

Including this year's scholarships, the IUAA Scholars program has awarded 199 $1,000 scholarships in 13 years. In its history, the IU Alumni Association has awarded more than $3.4 million in scholarships to IU students.

The IUAA Scholars program is funded entirely by the sale of IU license plates. More than 37,000 IU plates are on Hoosier vehicles, making the IU plate the most popular collegiate license plate in Indiana. With the purchase of each IU license plate, a $25 tax-deductible contribution is made to the IU Alumni Association to fund scholarships and many other programs and services.

The IU Alumni Association is dedicated to serving the university and its diverse alumni, students and friends. As one of the nation's largest alumni organizations, serving more than 495,000 graduates worldwide, the IUAA provides many programs and services to its members, non-member alumni and the university.
