RV Learning Center Scholarship Application Available Now
(Fairfax,
VA) The application for the Mike Molino RV Learning Center College Scholarship
Program is now available online. The scholarship

The
program was created to help foster the next generation of RV industry leaders,

It is made possible by the generosity of Joanne and Newt Kindlund, co-founders
of Holiday RV Superstores, the first publicly traded RV dealership.
“Joanne
was very passionate about the importance of education in enhancing our lives,”
says Newt Kindlund. “We were both extremely proud to have been able to offer
this program to our RVDA members.” Kindlund remains an active participant in RV
industry affairs and is a director emeritus on the Learning Center’s board of directors.
Dealers
are encouraged to tell their employees about this unique opportunity. A primary factor for awarding the scholarship
is an applicant’s background of RV industry employment or a desire to work in
the RV industry after college.
