Grants and Resources Available to Student Veterans' Organizations

Operation Diploma created a competitive grant program that allows SVOs to increase programming and generate awareness for student service members and veterans on campuses across Indiana. Through a competitive submission process, grants of up to $2,000 will be available to SVOs that demonstrate effective plans to address these issues, as well as campus and community engagement. These grants are awarded each semester.

In collaboration with the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entre­preneurship at Purdue University, Operation Diploma staff will help SVOs create sustainable organizational plans. Below are a list of the winning SVO presentations for September 12, 2009 grant competition.

1st Place: Indiana University Southeast
