Sorry!  The application process is now closed.

The Application Process Will Open in January 2014

ImageGetting an education has never been more important—or expensive. The RV Learning Center can help! Scholarship money is available to deserving sophomore, junior, or senior undergraduates majoring in business, finance, economics, accounting, or other RV-related subjects. Dealers are able to offer this opportunity to their team specifically because of their employment in the RV industry. Alert your employees to this opportunity by posting the new full color poster at your dealership. Click Here to download a 81/2" x 11" color poster (shown at left).  Dealer principals, their family and dependents, are not eligible. Please call the dealer services hotline, or e-mail info@rvda.org if you have any questions.

Applicants must:

  • Have a 2.8 or better cumulative grade point average, and a 1050 minimum SAT score (1575 minimum on the 2400 point scale). A minimum ACT composite score of 22 is also acceptable.
  • Be a rising sophomore, junior, or senior college undergraduate student.
  • Complete a 500 word essay on their goals and objectives for attending college.
  • Submit a copy of their Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) form which is available from guidance counselors or for download at no charge from the U.S. Department of Education at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
  • 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.

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's Board of Directors. The Kindlund Family has fully funded the $270,000 scholarship endowment.

For more information on the RV Learning Center, send an e-mail to info@rvda.org, or fax to (703) 359-0152. The RV Learning Center is a tax-exempt organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions may be tax deductible as charitable donations.
