The Kroger Co. Foundation Awards 106 Scholarships to Children of Kroger Associates

The Kroger Co. Foundation Awards 106 Scholarships to Children of Kroger Associates
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on October 01, 2025

The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) Foundation today announced the Kroger Scholars for the 2025-2026 academic year, awarding $265,000 to 106 students. All scholars are the children of Kroger associates and receive $2,500 toward any accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational program. Launched in 2008, the Kroger Scholars Program has awarded more than $5 million in scholarship funds.

"This support truly makes a difference for my family," said Kenzie Wyman, a Kroger Scholar pursuing a degree in business at Columbus State University. "The Kroger scholarship allows me to focus more on my studies and pursue my athletic career without the added stress of financial pressure. I'm truly grateful for this opportunity and all it represents."

The 2025-2026 Kroger Scholars will be represented at more than 85 institutions across the U.S. Students were selected based on a broad range of criteria, including volunteering, civic service, extracurricular activities, academic performance and work experience.

A company-wide program presented by The Kroger Co. Foundation, Kroger Scholars is open to children (biological, adopted and stepchildren) of associates in the Kroger Family of Companies who have two years of service and have worked at least 1,000 hours per year.
