The RV Learning Center College Scholarship Program has made history by increasing its annual award to $5,000, thanks to the generosity of the Kindlund Family. This prestigious program aims to foster the next generation of RV industry leaders by providing financial assistance to deserving students. The scholarship is now available online for applicants who meet specific eligibility criteria, including being currently employed in the RV industry or having a family member who works in the same field. The deadline for submitting all required items is June 22, and dealer principals and their families are not eligible for the award.
The scholarship program was created to support students pursuing higher education in the RV industry, with the goal of promoting career advancement and excellence within the sector. With this increase, the RV Learning Center will have awarded a total of $85,000 in scholarships to 34 students since its inception in 2000. The Kindlund family's endowment has played a significant role in making this program possible, demonstrating their commitment to supporting industry employees and their families.
The RV Learning Center Education Director, Ally Brown, expressed gratitude for Newt Kindlund's continued support for the program. 'The program was created to help foster the next generation of RV industry leaders,' she said. 'This will be the 35th scholarship awarded since its inception.' The scholarship is made possible through an endowment established by Joanne and Newt Kindlund, co-founders of Holiday RV Superstores.
The increase in the award amount will have a significant impact on the recipients, providing them with more financial support to pursue their education and career goals. This is particularly beneficial for students who are seeking to transition into the RV industry after graduating or those who already work in the sector but want to further their knowledge and skills.
Dealers are encouraged to inform their employees about this unique opportunity, which focuses on supporting individuals with a background in RV industry employment or a desire to work in the industry after college. The scholarship is open to undergraduates currently employed in the RV industry, dependents of an RV industry employee, and those seeking a career in the RV industry after graduating.
