Celebrating Education: Dr Pepper's Tuition Giveaway

In a grand display of commitment to education, Dr Pepper, part of the Keurig Dr Pepper portfolio, has announced the winners of its 18th annual Tuition Giveaway. This vibrant event, held during the College Football Conference Championship games, awarded three exceptional students $100,000 each to assist in funding their future academic pursuits.

The Event

On December 6, 2025, amidst the excitement of college football, Dr Pepper hosted its legendary Tuition Toss competition where six finalists battled it out to see who could throw the most footballs into an oversized Dr Pepper can within half a minute. The atmosphere was electric as fans cheered on their favorites during the game day festivities.

Who are the Winners?

The winners of this year’s Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway are:

• - David Vilches from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - awarded for his aspiration to become a real estate and environmental lawyer.
• - Francis Pham from the University of Texas at San Antonio aiming for a career in dentistry.
• - Jesse Kompany from SEC, also recognized for his commitment to academics and community service.

Each student not only showcased their skills in the competition but also expressed their dedication to serving their communities, aligning with Dr Pepper’s mission of uplifting students.

A Legacy of Support

Dr Pepper's initiatives to support students have spanned over three decades, amounting to more than $20 million in education funding. Derek Dabrowski, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing at Keurig Dr Pepper stated, "No one knows college football like Dr Pepper, and that extends beyond the game day rituals and rivalries to supporting students both on and off the field." This ethos resonates deeply in the fabric of Dr Pepper's identity and operations.

Many past winners have gone on to achieve significant milestones in their careers. For instance, Nikki Boon, who won in 2010, is now managing award-winning artists while Andrew Jimenez, who won in 2023, is currently pursuing further education with ambitions to take on marketing consulting.

Francis Pham shared his gratitude saying, "The Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway will support me to fulfill my dream of becoming a dentist as I move forward with my undergraduate studies and ultimately dental school. I am driven by a desire to serve my Texas community through compassionate dental care." Similarly, David Vilches emphasized the transformative impact of this grant: "This funding will not only enable me to be the first in my family to pursue a law degree but will also support my endeavors in housing and environmental advocacy to uplift my community."
