Support student scholarships with a JSCC license plate
In July 2019, Jefferson State became the first community college in Alabama to be issued a distinctive car tag. A JSCC license plate not only allows you to display your JSCC affiliation wherever you go, but it also carries the power to make a significant impact on our students’ educational journeys. By purchasing a JSCC License Plate, you’ll be directly supporting student scholarships that provide deserving individuals with access to a brighter future.
