Sprigs by NEXDINE is proud to celebrate Emma, one of our amazing Student Advisory Board members, with a $1,000 scholarship – a recognition of her leadership, dedication, and the meaningful role she has played in shaping student dining on campus.

At Sprigs by NEXDINE, we’ve always believed that the best dining experience is one created alongside the students it serves. Our Student Advisory Board gives students a real seat at the table – influencing menus, driving wellness initiatives, and helping shape a dining culture that feels authentic to their school community.

Emma embodies exactly that spirit. This scholarship is our way of recognizing that partnership. When a student shows up, speaks up, and leads the way, that deserves more than a thank you – it deserves an investment in their future.

“Through adaptive partnerships and a student-led approach, Sprigs transforms dining into an essential part of campus life – nurturing a sense of belonging, promoting wellness, and shaping a more sustainable future for the next generation of leaders.”

About the Student Advisory Board

The Sprigs by NEXDINE Student Advisory Board is a student-powered program where young leaders collaborate directly with our culinary and hospitality teams. Members share their perspectives on food, wellness, culture, and campus life – and their input directly shapes the menus and dining experiences served every day.

Board members don’t just advise; they lead. From taste-testing new dishes to championing dietary inclusivity and sustainability, our Student Advisory Board members are the driving force behind what makes Sprigs unique: chef-driven, student-curated dining that reflects the values and personality of each school.
