Google Student Veterans of America Scholarship

Name: Google Student Veterans of America Scholarship

Award Amount: $10,000

Information And Eligibility:
The Google Student Veterans of America (SVA) Scholarship is a prestigious national award designed to recognize and support U.S. military veterans and their dependents who are pursuing higher education. Sponsored by Google in partnership with Student Veterans of America—one of the largest veteran-focused nonprofit organizations in the country—this scholarship provides $10,000 to selected recipients to help cover tuition, books, technology, and other educational expenses. The award is part of Google’s broader commitment to expanding access to education and workforce opportunities for veterans and military-connected students, particularly in technology and related fields.

This scholarship is open to eligible students who are currently enrolled or planning to enroll at a U.S. accredited college or university. Applicants should demonstrate academic achievement, involvement in their communities or veteran-associated organizations, and a clear intention to graduate and pursue a meaningful career track—whether in technology, business, nonprofit leadership, public service, or other professional areas. Selection committees look for students who exemplify leadership, resilience, service-oriented values, and a strategic vision for how their education will enable them to make a positive impact in their careers and communities.

The Google SVA Scholarship is especially valuable for those navigating the transition from military service to civilian academic life. It helps offset education costs at a critical time, allowing veterans to focus on coursework, internships, career preparation, and community engagement without the full burden of financial hardship. Recipients may also gain access to Google-sponsored professional development opportunities, networking events, and connections with technology-sector mentors, further enriching their academic-to-career journey.
