Student Veterans of America (SVA) is a coalition of student veteran groups from college campuses across the United States. Founded in January 2008, Student Veterans of America is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization that works to develop new student groups, coordinate between existing student groups, and advocate on behalf of student veterans at the local, state, and national level.

Benefits include:
Peer-to-peer networks for fellow veterans, campus activities, and pre-professional networking. Members can also communicate with executive staff who can connect them to resources outside our campus.
