Ride with Red Hawk Pride: Montclair State University License Plates
Montclair State University is working to bring a specialty New Jersey license plate to the road — a bold, unmistakable way for alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, supporters and friends to show their Red Hawk pride wherever life takes them! Our goal is to secure 500 commitments from the Montclair community. Those who join this initial group will become the Founding 500 — the champions helping bring Red Hawk license plates to New Jersey roads. This is your chance to be part of something lasting: a visible symbol of the Montclair community, connecting generations of Red Hawks and putting our university pride on display across the state.
Over 100 committed - help us get to 500!
Commit to the Founding 500 and receive insider updates on what comes next.
The campaign launched at Homecoming, where the response was already taking flight: more than 100 members of the Montclair community have stepped forward to show their support! Once we reach 500 commitments, additional steps with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) will be required before the plate can be finalized and issued. We’ll keep you informed by email as the initiative progresses, including how to complete the application when the time comes. The financial commitment is $75, which includes a $25 gift to The Fund for Montclair.
I invite all our alumni and friends to join the Founding 500 and help put Red Hawk pride on the road. Let's celebrate everything you, our alumni, do for New Jersey and make sure the love we share for this great University is known from Exit 0 to Exit 172!
