BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – Louisiana Tech University student and Baton Rouge native, Kirsten Smith is receiving thousands in free tuition through the Dr Pepper Tuition giveaway.

Smith is one of seven students who is taking part in a virtual contest on Monday, December 7.

The Baton Rouge native is one of eight students participating in the competition.

Smith won this opportunity after defining how the tuition would allow her the chance to “become a professional aviator while serving as a mentor to other minorities in the aviation industry and beyond,” according to organizers.
