Programs & Initiatives
In 2011, SVA welcomed its 500th chapter and continues to grow in the 50 states and 2 foreign countries it operates within. On a national level, Student Veterans of America works to strengthen the network of opportunities Now, SVA is diversifying our set of programs for quality assurance and maximum impact. Our scholarship programs focus on meeting the needs of 21st century demands by providing financial support to student veterans majoring in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering. With the decline in the economy and value of internships increasing, SVA has also launched the internship support program to provide financial incentives to student veterans accepting unpaid internships. We understand the value of internships and want to ensure veterans aren't deterred by a lack of financial support.

Famous quotes containing the words programs and/or initiatives:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
