WASHINGTON, DC – Student Veterans of America is proud to announce a new partnership with Google that will provide 8 student veterans pursuing computer science or related degrees with a $10,000 scholarship each for the 2012-2013 academic year

Google’s support of SVA and student veterans is one of the first of its kind and comes on the heels of their Google for veterans and families program.

"Student Veterans of America is excited to offer these scholarships to student veterans nationwide that are pursuing some of America’s most in-demand degrees,” said Michael Dakduk, SVA’s Executive Director. "These scholarships are a huge financial boost and will encourage student veterans to excel in a very challenging STEM program.”
