At its July meeting, the Florida RV Trade Association Board of Directors added 10 new students to the FRVTA Scholarship. This brings the total number of students on the scholarship program to 25 full-time and three part-time students.
The FRVTA Scholarship began in the fall of 1990 and since that time more than 200 students have received an undergraduate degree with the aid of the scholarship. The scholarship pays students $1,000 per semester or up to $2,000 per year for a total of $8,000 per student. Students must attend an in-state college and must maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
“Every year we get a lot of qualified applicants,” said Traeanne Reynolds, chairman of the FRVTA Scholarship Committee. “Wish we could give them all scholarships, but I’m very pleased with the applicants we’ve chosen. We base the scholarship not only on academic achievement, but upon financial need and extracurricular activities. I feel this is one of the most important membership benefits our association offers.”
