Available for 2012-13 Academic Year

The RV Learning Center scholarship program awards a $2,500 scholarship annually to deserving college sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduate students majoring in business, finance, economics, accounting, or other RV-related subjects. Dealers and other industry partners are able to offer this opportunity to their team specifically because of their employment in the RV industry.  Click here for an application and a color poster about the program suitable to display in employee break or lunch areas.

Scholarship applicants must:

• Be a rising sophomore, junior, or senior college undergraduate student.
• Complete a 500 word essay on their goals and objectives for attending college.

• Demonstrate the ability and willingness to fund a portion of their educational expenses on their own.
• Attend an accredited four-year college or university as a condition of receiving the scholarship.

All items must be submitted by June 4, 2012. Dealer principals, their family and dependents, are not eligible.

The scholarship program is possible due to the generosity of the Newt and Joanne Kindlund Family. The Kindlunds are the founders of Holiday RV Superstores—the first publicly-traded RV dealership. The Kindlunds sold the company in 1999. Newt Kindlund remains an active participant in RV industry affairs and currently serves on The RV Learning Center Board of Directors. The Kindlund Family has fully funded the $270,000 Foundation scholarship endowment.
