SpartanNash Launches Our Family Scholarship Program for 2025

SpartanNash®, a renowned food solutions provider, recently unveiled its third annual Our Family® Scholarship program. This initiative, aimed at acknowledging exceptional students, will grant 15 deserving individuals a scholarship of $5,000, helping to foster educational advancement and community engagement.

Empowering Future Leaders

Set to accept applications starting May 1, 2025, until August 31, the Our Family Scholarship program focuses on applicants who demonstrate leadership, compassion, and commitment to service within their communities. Open to both shoppers and associates residing in states where SpartanNash operates, the program includes candidates pursuing undergraduate, graduate, or vocational education across various fields.

Erin Storm, SpartanNash's Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, shared, "At SpartanNash, one of our Core Capabilities is People, and through the Our Family Scholarship program, we can support students who give generously of themselves to build stronger communities. These scholarships represent more than financial support—they're a celebration of what unites us: compassion, dedication, and a drive to make a difference."

Previous Scholarship Recipients' Impact

The program highlights not only financial support but also the essential role young leaders play in enhancing communities. Past recipients have been involved in significant initiatives such as food drives, environmental restoration, youth mentorship, and healthcare advocacy. Nathan Sparshu, a previous scholarship awardee, expressed his gratitude, stating, "I am so honored to have received this scholarship from Our Family. It brings me a lot of happiness to know that this brand gives back to students like me so I can spend my time giving back to the various communities that I am a part of."

Looking Ahead

Funding from the scholarship can be utilized for a variety of accredited educational institutions, including four-year colleges, two-year colleges, trade schools, and other secondary educational programs. This program reflects SpartanNash's commitment to nurturing future leaders and strengthening the communities they serve. The emphasis on community connection aligns with their flagship private brand, Our Family,
