Student Veterans of America
 


       Student Veterans of America is an organization that helps veterans returning to college following military duty. The Student Veterans of America is non-profit. Chapters of Student Veterans of America can be found at many colleges in 50 states in the USA and in 3 other countries. There are 750 chapters in all. Student Veterans of America provide scholarships, support, student centers for the veterans to get together and call home, and much more for veterans entering the mainstream of college life. Caitlin Collins', N.S.C.A.R. National President, hope is that the CAR societies will find numerous ways to help these veterans attending colleges near where they are located in as many ways as possible. CAR members can visit the chapters, send C.A.R.E. packages, packages of supplies they need at college, gift cards, phone cards-the list is endless! This coming year we will be aiding the Student Veterans of America at Eastwick College in Ramsey, NJ and Felician College in Lodi, NJ.   

The Student Veterans of America chapters closest to our society are;


  •  Eastwick College in Ramsey
  •  Berkeley College-Newark in Paterson
  •  Felician College in Lodi
  •  Montclair State University
  • Rutgers in New Brunswick 
  • DeVry University in Piscataway
Out-of-state members can locate Student Veterans of America Chapters near were they live by accessing the map on the Student Veterans of America site which is listed below. Be sure to let us know about all the ways you were able to support the veterans at the colleges near your homes. 

            The Student Veterans of America is a non-profit organization, which provides scholarships and support to returning veterans entering college mainstream life. They build student centers on the campuses so the veterans have a place to “hang out” and call home along with many other things to provide them support. Student Veterans of America has 750 in all of 50 states and 3 countries. The goal for this NSCAR year is to get all societies involved with the national project-Student Veterans of America by visiting the chapters, sending C.A.R.E. packages, and more! The Student Veterans of America chapters closest to our society are Eastwick College in Ramsey, Berkeley College-Newark in Paterson, Felician College in Lodi, Montclair State University, Rutgers in New Brunswick and DeVry University in Piscataway.
