The application for the Mike Molino RV Learning Center College Scholarship Program is available online, and the deadline for submitting all required items is July 7, 2020.
The RV Dealers Association shared information about the approaching deadline today. Deserving college undergraduates majoring in business, marketing, finance, economics, accounting, or other RV industry-related subjects are eligible to apply, the RVDA said. The $2,500 award will be applied to the cost of tuition for the 2020-2021 school year.

The program was created to help foster the next generation of RV industry leaders, and this will be the 30th scholarship awarded since its inception. It is made possible by the generosity of Newt and the late Joanne Kindlund, co-founders of Holiday RV Superstores, the first publicly traded RV dealership.
Dealers are encouraged to inform 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 within the industry after college.
Posters publicizing the scholarship are available as a free download from the Learning Center. To obtain an application, poster, or more information, click here.
