Student Veterans of America Receives $4 Million from Google.org to Expand Career Training and Workforce Readiness for Student Veterans
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 8, 2025) – Student Veterans of America (SVA) has received $4 million in funding from Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google, to significantly expand access to career training and support services for student veterans nationwide.
The funding will enable thousands of student veterans to access Google Career Certificates and Google AI Essentials courses, providing industry-recognized credentials and training in high-demand fields. By combining these programs with personalized support, advising, and new research initiatives, the partnership will help bridge the gap between education and employment for those transitioning from military service to civilian careers.
