Sponsor/Exhibit NatCon N/A
 

Thank you for your interest in supporting Student Veterans of America's 12th Annual National Conference, NatCon 2020, occurring January 3-5 at the JW Marriott L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California.

 

We are excited to connect you with an audience of more than 2,300 motivated and engaged student veteran community leaders, student veterans, advisors, university staff, partners, and other stakeholders who know the value of supporting growth and development for veterans in higher education.

SVA was founded in 2008 following the passage of the historic Post-9/11 GI Bill, the largest expansion of education benefits since the World War II–era GI Bill. We have grown to represent student veteran communities at more than 1,500 colleges and universities in all 50 states and 5 territories, and 4 countries.
 
SVA is the first and only veteran service organization of its kind, and the only organization in higher education, focused on delivering the advocacy, resources, programs, and research needed for veterans to succeed in higher education and beyond graduation.
 

SVA empowers the student veteran population by:
  • Helping veterans become informed consumers of higher education and decide what to study, where, and how best to utilize their earned benefits.
  • Supporting veterans on campus with our network of student veteran communities as well as individual programs and services.
  • Connecting veterans to gainful employment during or post-graduation.
  • Conducting groundbreaking research on Post-9/11 GI Bill graduation rates, student debt, and more.
  • Advocating with lawmakers on behalf of student veterans to protect the integrity of the Post-9/11 GI Bill.



To put this in perspective, of the 1.1 million veterans currently in higher education, more than 700,000 are on campuses with the support of an SVA chapter! SVA is the first and only veteran service organization of its kind, and is the only organization in higher education focused on delivering the advocacy, resources, programs, and research needed for veterans to succeed in higher education and beyond graduation.

Sponsoring and exhibiting at NatCon has many benefits, to include:
  • Meeting more than 2,300 of the best and brightest veteran scholars who are using higher education to transition to a career and civilian life.
  • Building relationships with nearly one third of our more than 1,500 student veteran communities on campuses across the nation.
  • Demonstrating an effective outreach strategy for veteran hiring, as required by OFCCP.
  • Learning from 96 breakout sessions focused on higher education, leadership, career readiness, student veteran success, SVA research and more.
