RV Learning Center
Accepting Applications for College Scholarship Program
The RV Learning Center scholarship program awards $2,500 scholarships
to deserving college sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduate
students majoring in business, finance, economics, accounting, or other
RV related subjects. The scholarship is for RV company employees and
their dependents. Dealer principals and their dependents are not
eligible. A factor for awarding the scholarship may be an
applicant’s background of RV industry employment or a desire to
work in the RV business after completing post-secondary education.
Applications are being accepted for the 2010-2011 academic term. The
application deadline is June 4, 2010. Click Here for the
RV Learning Center scholarship application.
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 RVDA Education Foundation Board of
Directors. The Kindlund Family has fully funded the $270,000
Foundation scholarship endowment.
