Student Veterans of America is eligible to win $250,000 under The Pepsi Refresh Project, but we need your vote! Pepsi will award two (2) $250,000 this month based on majority vote. Each person is eligible to vote once per day for the entire month of June. Yes, you can vote each day throughout the month! We need you to vote for us every day so we can provide money for SVA scholarships, chapter grants, and fund additional SVA conferences.
SVA provides scholarships for student veterans because we understand the VA educational benefits, and the New GI Bill, does not provide full funding for all veterans. There are gaps in certain VA Education Programs, and while SVA advocates for changes, we want to bridge the gap that currently exists.
SVA Chapter Grants provide our 250+ chapters throughout the nation with needed funds to host on-campus activities, fund social events, and engage in meaningful projects. We understand that university administrations may not provide adequate funding to our SVA chapters. SVA wants to see all of our chapters succeed, and not be limited by funding.
SVA recently hosted several conferences throughout the nation, some of which you may have attended. The importance of networking with military veterans cannot be understated. SVA firmly believes in bringing our student veterans together as our camaraderie remains solid in and out of uniform.
Another important aspect of the grant proposal is our desire to assist wounded warriors successfully transition from combat to college. SVA is currently collocated with the Wounder Warrior Project in Washington DC, and we want to ensure our wounded veterans are succeeding in the civilian world through higher education. With your vote, we remain one step closer to helping veterans succeed through education.
SVA remains committed to a new generation of scholars who understand the importance of leadership and sacrifice. While Memorial Day has passed, your vote throughout the month only cements your commitment to the young service members coming home. Vote today for Student Veterans of America and allow us the honor of implementing our vision. There is no greater way to memorialize or thank those who have served our nation than to ensure they succeed in life.
