HARVEST Education Foundation

HARVEST Education Foundation is a Michigan-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1991 by the Michigan Manufactured Housing, Recreation Vehicles, and Campground Association. Its mission is to expand educational opportunities and support the next generation of professionals in the RV, campground, and manufactured housing industries. The Foundation provides scholarships to students pursuing related careers, while also considering outstanding scholars and students with compelling financial needs, even when their career goals lie elsewhere.

Eligible applicants must be enrolled or planning to enroll at an accredited college, university, or vocational school; awards are based on need and/or merit, with attention to the quality and completeness of the application. HARVEST also offers grants to association members in good standing. These support industry-related continuing education, including credentialing and licensing, as well as training and educational programs for residents, consumers, customers, and other stakeholders.

Since its founding, the Foundation has awarded more than $500,000 in scholarships to over 700 students and has received research grants from institutions including the University of Michigan and Michigan State University
