The application for the Mike Molino RV Learning Center College Scholarship Program is now available online.
The scholarship is available for undergraduates currently employed in the RV industry, who are dependents of an RV industry employee, and to those seeking a career in the RV industry after graduating.
The $2,500 award will be applied to the cost of tuition for the 2025-2026 school year. The deadline for submitting all required items is July 11. Dealer principals, and their families and dependents, are not eligible for the award.
The program was created to help foster the next generation of RV industry leaders, and this will be the 34th scholarship awarded since its inception. It is made possible by the generosity of Joanne and Newt Kindlund, co-founders of Holiday RV Superstores, the first publicly traded RV dealership. Newt Kindlund remains an active participant in RV industry affairs and is a director emeritus on the Learning Center’s board of directors.
The Kindlund family increased its contribution of the Mike Molino RV Learning Center’s Kindlund Family College Scholarship Program to $370,000 in 2024. Through the Kindlund family’s endowment, the RV Learning Center has awarded $82,500 in scholarships to 33 students since its inception in 2000.
Dealers are encouraged to tell their employees about this unique opportunity. A primary factor for awarding the scholarship is an applicant’s background in RV industry employment or a desire to work in the RV industry after college.
Posters publicizing the scholarship are available as a free download from the center. To obtain an application, poster or more information, click here.
All materials noted above must be received by the center no later than July 11.
