The RVDA Education Foundation’s RV Learning Center will award 10, $500 scholarships to the 2009 RV Dealers International Convention/Expo in Las Vegas, NV, Oct 6-9, 2009.  These scholarships are made available through the generous support of Greeneway, Inc., an RV dealership in Wisconsin Rapids, WI.

Any RVDA member dealer or dealership employee who is not currently registered for the 2009 RV Dealers International Convention/Expo is eligible to apply for a scholarship.  This means a new registration from a dealership not already registered for the convention, or an additional employee registration from a dealership already registered.  Dealerships can use the $500 scholarship to defray travel costs, hotel rooms, or the convention registration fee. 

“This is a very important convention, and I know some dealers would like to attend or send additional people, but are unable to do so this year,” said Mick Ferkey of Greeneway, Inc.  “This is our dealership’s way of giving back to an industry that has been very good to us and also get more people to the convention.”  Ferkey serves on RVDA’s Board of Directors and as the association’s Marketing Task Force Committee Chairman.

“It is truly a remarkable gesture for a dealer to make a scholarship program available to other dealers,” said RVDA Education Foundation Chairman of the Board Rick Horsey of Parkview RV Center in Smyrna, DE.  “Thanks to Mick and Greeneway, more dealership personnel will be able to take advantage of the outstanding educational opportunities available at this year’s convention.”

Once awarded, scholarships will be paid to the dealership upon receipt of a paid, new convention registration.  Convention registration fees are non-refundable.  Scholarship recipients will be selected at random from the qualified applications received.  Deadline to return application forms is August 28.  Recipients will be notified by August 31, 2009. Click Here to apply for the scholarship.
