Student Veterans of America (SVA), an organization supporting the academic, professional and personal development of veterans, selected Boeing as its Partner of the Year. The announcement was made during the SVA’s virtual National Convention 2021 — the largest annual gathering of Post-9/11 veterans in the world — on Feb. 20.
These awards recognize the contributions of SVA partners like Boeing that support the research, operations and programs benefiting nearly 1,500 SVA chapters and more than 750,000 student veterans across the country. As part of SVA’s advocacy work, it helped conceive, and pass, the first major update to the GI Bill in a decade, known commonly as the Forever GI Bill. This bipartisan legislation impacts the lives of approximately 1 million students, distributing more than $12 billion in benefits annually.
