PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. – Pinellas County Tax Collector offices are teaming up with the University of South (USF) Florida’s Alumni Association this September to raise funds for educational scholarships and programs.
USF was founded in 1956 and, despite being a young university, is now one of the fastest-rising universities in the United States.
With campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota-Manatee it serves over 50,000 students and offers more than 200 undergraduate majors, minors, and concentrations. USF’s Alumni Association has awarded over $6 million in scholarships since its inception.

Pinellas Tax Collector employees will sport USF Bulls gear and have some extra green and gold in their offices to promote the USF specialty license plate.
Customers who visit a tax collector’s office during September and switch to the USF specialty plate will receive a $25 rebate voucher from USF. When customers choose to “Ride with Bull Pride,” proceeds from the specialty plate go back to the USF Alumni Association to be used for student scholarships and programs.
“I am excited that we can give back to an organization that has enriched our county, state, and beyond in so many ways,” Tax Collector Charles W. Thomas says, “A solid educational foundation is important for our community now and for future generations. I know we have some USF Bulls in our offices who cannot wait to represent. Go, Bulls!”
