The Bill Stewart Scholarship was created to honor a passionate RV industry leader who provided many years of respected service. Bill was a true advocate for women in the RV Industry through continual learning and personal advancement. He cared deeply about bettering the lives of others and played an intricate role in kicking off the RVWACF Women’s Tech Program. Until his passing, he was the lead instructor for these classes. He was always available to answer questions and assist learners to help them achieve in the classroom and in life. The Bill Stewart Scholarship provides funding to help cover the cost of RV technician training instructed by the RVWA Charitable Foundation using the RV Technical Institute curriculum and testing for women in the RV Industry wanting to advance their career and better the industry. Through this scholarship, financial assistance will not only help new technicians, but will also assist those in other roles within the industry to align the various areas aiding in RECT (Repair Event Cycle Time), thus making this a great way to honor Bill’s legacy to the RV Women’s Alliance, RVWACF, and the RV Industry.

Hear from students whose careers have been catapulted by taking an RVWACF women’s RV systems/tech class.

“I recently had the pleasure of taking a course through the RVWA Charitable Foundation and I couldn’t be more impressed. I want to send a huge thank you to Jessica Rider, our instructor, whose expertise and passion made the entire experience exceptional. Her teaching style was engaging, making even the most complex topics easy to grasp. She created a supportive learning environment that encouraged participation, and her ability to break down difficult concepts was second to none. The curriculum itself was top-notch, well-structured, and thoughtfully designed, thus ensuring that we not only understood the material but also gained practical skills that will last well beyond the course. It’s clear that the RVWACF is committed to offering high-quality training and I truly believe this course is a prime example of that. I only wish there were more opportunities like this one. It was wonderful experience from start to finish, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have participated. Thank you again for your outstanding instruction and thank you to the RVWA Charitable Foundation for providing such a fantastic learning experience – keep up the great work!”

“I walked in having no technical background and left an almost Level 1 certified technician. It’s not an ‘easy’ course, so the fact that I retained as much as I did and performed as well as I did on the exams speaks volumes to the success of the instructor and material taught. If I could learn as much as I did, anybody can!”

“I knew absolutely nothing from a technical perspective walking into this course so I enjoyed the amount of information I received. The instructor was extremely passionate about what she was doing – you could tell she’s really trying to make the course better. I appreciated being taught by a woman, that was pretty empowering!”
