Advocacy
SVA’s Policy and Government Affairs team provides student veterans, service members and their families a voice by working with Congress and the Federal government to promote forward-looking legislation like the Forever GI Bill, the most comprehensive expansion and improvement of the Post 9/11 GI Bill since its inception in 2008.
Research
Student Veterans of America’s Research Team works to inform the public, stake holders, policy makers, and others on student veteran and military connected students’ topics and concerns through empirical research like the Million Records Project (MRP) and the National Veterans Education Success Tracker (NVEST).
This year, we are asking current and former student veterans to assist in our research by filling out the
Student Veteran Life Cycle Atlas.
Your responses will have a direct impact on the quality of programs SVA and other VSOs are able to offer in the future.
