To date, the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway has provided over $12 million in tuition to deserving students across the country. The giveaway takes place each year as part of the College Football Season and tuition is awarded as part of the classic Throw Competition during the Championship games. This year, students applied for tuition through the #IDeserveTuition TikTok challenge, which encouraged students to post a video application through the app.

“Dr Pepper’s #IDeserveTuition TikTok challenge asked students to show why they deserve tuition in the most creative way they could, so we thought it was only fitting for us to get creative too!” said Derek Dabrowski, Vice President of Brand Marketing for Dr Pepper. “Not only are we excited to partner with Mark Cuban to host the first-ever ‘Bitcoin Toss,’ we’re proud to continue to support students pursuing their academic goals in what has been the most exciting year of the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway yet.”
