Scholarship Opportunities

The following scholarship opportunities are available to RV park & campground owners, operators, staff and, in rare cases, those interested in the program who may not be currently employed in an RV park or campground. Early applications are necessary in all cases. Awarding of a scholarship does not guarantee a slot in the School. Separate registration for the School is necessary. Since the School has filled up early in the past, don't be left out with scholarship support but no seat at the School!
