This is the sixth year that Braum’s and Dr Pepper have been working together to award the tuition prizes. The prizes can be transferred to a friend or family member to be used for tuition, which is what many of the recipients plan to do since they have children or family currently attending college.

“Every year, the contest continues to grow and garner excitement from our customers and employees,” said Drew Braum, President and CEO. “We love being able to offer a contest with prizes that benefit our employees and customers and go towards furthering their education, which is a cause that is near and dear to Braum’s.”

The Dr Pepper tuition award can be used to cover college or post-secondary vocational institutional tuition, fees, books, supplies, equipment, related educational expenses or on-campus room and board. The tuition award can also be used to pay off student loans for eligible costs.
