The Michigan Manufactured Housing and the Recreation Vehicle and Campground Associations has announced that applications are now being accepted for the Tim DeWitt HARVEST Education Foundation Scholarship.
The Tim DeWitt HARVEST Education Foundation is a nonprofit foundation created by MARVAC in 1991.
HARVEST establishes educational programs and opportunities for students who wish to make a career in the RV and campground, manufactured housing or self-storage industry. In some cases, HARVEST will award scholarships to students even though their career goals may not lead them back to these industries. In cases like these, awards will be made to outstanding scholars or students with compelling needs.
“The Tim DeWitt HARVEST Education Foundation has given almost 650 scholarships in its 30 years of existence. Our membership and staff are proud to have helped so many students work toward advanced education,” said Bill Sheffer, executive director of MMH/RVCA and Self-Storage Association of Michigan.
“In offering this scholarship, we are introducing students to career opportunities they might not have realized are available in the RV, camping, manufactured homes and self-storage businesses,” said Sheffer. “They get to see a unique prospect in the work force and our industries benefit by bringing in new critical thinking and fresh perspectives.”
Applications are due by Friday, April 9. To apply online, visit www.marvac.org, www.michhome.org or www.selfstoragemichigan.org
The foundation has awarded more than $373,000 in financial aid to 646 students.
