Make the Self-Storage Industry Your Future!
The Tim DeWitt HARVEST Education Foundation 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, scholarships will be awarded 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. Applications are due at the Foundation office no later than Friday, April 3, 2020 for the fall semester of the coming school year. All information must be completed for consideration. All Seasons Communications, the association’s marketing agency, manages the scholarship program. If you have questions, you may call them directly at 586.752.6381 and ask for Beth Monicatti Blank.

Plus, if you start sorting, packing and storing now, then you will be in a really good position to move quickly when your house is sold.
