SpartanNash is accepting applications for its third annual Our Family Scholarship program. This year, 15 students who are making a positive impact in their communities will each receive a $5,000 scholarship to support their educational journeys.
The scholarship is open to shoppers and employees who live in one of the states served by SpartanNash through its company-operated stores or an independent grocer customer. Applicants can be pursuing undergraduate, graduate or vocational education, regardless of field of study.
Applications for the 2025 Our Family Scholarship will be accepted through Aug. 31. Recipients will receive funding for the spring 2026 semester. Scholarship funds can be applied to a wide range of accredited institutions, including two- and four-year colleges, trade schools and other secondary education programs.
“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,” said SpartanNash SVP and Chief Marketing Officer Erin Storm.
“These scholarships represent more than financial support – they’re a celebration of what unites us: compassion, dedication and a drive to make a difference.”

Past scholarship recipients have led initiatives such as food drives, environmental restoration, youth mentorship and healthcare advocacy. In 2024, scholarship winners across the country demonstrated the role young leaders play in creating stronger communities.
“I am so honored to have received this scholarship from Our Family,” said Nathan Sparshu, a past Our Family Scholarship recipient. “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.”
