Student Veterans Association
Student Veterans of America's mission is to provide military veterans with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education as well as after graduation.
Troy University's Student Veteran Association (SVA) is a social and informational organization for any student, faculty, staff, alumni, or member of the community who wants to support our military. It is a non-political environment in which members can meet, share information, plan activities, and build the camaraderie they were accustomed to while in the service.
Whatever our affiliation with the military may be, we share the common goal of supporting every student-veteran in his/her mission of transitional, academic, and professional success.
