In 2008, a grassroots movement linked through social media ignited to become the nationally recognized organization Student Veterans of America (SVA). With resources available online at http://www.studentveterans.org, SVA has one ultimate goal: help veterans succeed in postsecondary education.
To accomplish this goal, SVA makes it simple for groups to access information on how to become an official chapter, including an online Chapter Success Manual. An in-state tuition map offers information of which states have laws that provide student veterans with in-state tuition waivers. The SVA works with outside organizations to provide scholarship opportunities, which users can apply for directly through the SVA website.
The Latest News section posts relevant government press releases, as well as accomplishments by SVA and outside organizations that affect student veterans.
A map and directory allow users to search for chapters by browsing a world map (chapters exist in locations outside of the U.S., including Germany, Italy, and France) or searching by zip code. Chapter members gain additional access to resources with a secured user login.
