On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, Faisal Sulman, Legal Fellow at Student Veterans of America, was invited to attend and spoke about the various higher educational issues impacting student veterans. The Committee for Education Funding (CEF) invited its members and coalition allies, such as SVA, to help support the voice for increased education funding. This was done by meeting with various members of the House and Senate and advocating the need to increase or at least maintain education funding in the face of growing needs along the education continuum. Most notably, SVA touched on H.R. 8514 - Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act, which increases the annual stipend for books, supplies, and equipment from $1,000 to $1,400 under the Post-9/11 GI Bill and adjusts with inflation. #StudentVeterans #WeAreSVA #SVALeads

Transforming the way we support veterans starts with community collaboration. Speaking at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs VetResources Community Network (VRCN) Partner Convening at Wright State University was an incredible opportunity to see firsthand how dedicated leaders and organizations from all over the country are coming together to make a real difference. This event focused on the theme "Supporting Veterans’ Transition and Access Through Partnerships," and it was inspiring to witness the collective effort to enhance veteran support systems. Discussions ranged from data-driven strategies to innovative transition solutions, all aimed at improving the lives of veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors. The presence of leaders from the United States Department of Defense, and U.S. Department of Labor, state & local governments, companies, and some exclent nonprofis underscored the importance of unified efforts in addressing the needs of our veteran communities. The insights shared were not only valuable but also a testament to the power of partnership and community engagement. I also had the opportunity to tour the Wright State University Veteran & Military Center along with Tammy I. Barlet, thanks to Seth Gordon - we even got to see the room supported by the generosity of Student Veterans of America legend, Jonathan Granata! It was an added treat to talk to so many SVA alumni who got their start serving veterans as volunteers in their SVA chapters and are now doing the work full-time in nonprofits and the public sector, nationwide. Thank you to everyone involved for your commitment to this cause. Together, we are creating a stronger network and brighter future for those who have served. #VRCN #VeteransExperience #CommunityEngagement #StudentVeterans #WeAreSVA #Partnerships #SupportOurVeterans

The Advising Center enriches the lives of service members and their families as they transition to civilian life through the transformative power of higher education. Start developing a comprehensive path to success early in transition, or even during military service. The SVA Advising Center also provides services and support to those who have already transitioned out of the military but have not yet considered higher education. https://lnkd.in/eUbVxnYM RTX #StudentVeterans #WeAreSVA #SVALeads
