About the Plate
Your Driving Education license plate benefits the Public Education Foundation’s programs to support public school students, educators, and families in the state of Nevada, including:
-
Providing $4 million in college scholarships each year to help students pursue their dreams of attending college or vocational school.
-
Providing school supplies to teachers to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses. These supplies are then passed along to students who often can’t afford them; and
-
Empowering families with best practices to support their child’s learning at school and develop life skills that help disrupt generational poverty.
In addition, your local school district will receive a portion of the registration fee, based on the zip code on your vehicle’s registration.
