The Tim DeWitt HARVEST Education Foundation is a nonprofit education foundation created by the Michigan Manufactured Housing, Recreation Vehicle and Campground Association in 1991. In 2013, the Self-Storage Association of Michigan was added. The Tim DeWitt HARVEST Education Foundation establishes educational 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.

The 2024-2025 Scholarship Application will be available in early 2024.

The HARVEST Education Foundation was created in 1995 by the Michigan Manufactured Housing Association and its sister associations. It establishes educational programs and opportunities for students who wish to make a career in the RV and campground, manufactured housing or self-storage industries. Since the foundation’s inception, HARVEST has granted $358,575 in university and college scholarships to 628 students.
