Supporting the Professionals Who Serve Veterans Since 1975
The National Association of Veterans' Program Administrators (NAVPA) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization committed to supporting professionals who administer education benefits for veterans and military-connected students. Through education, training, and advocacy, NAVPA strengthens the capacity of schools and administrators to deliver high-quality support and resources to those who serve and their families.
Your voice at the table: NAVPA maintains direct relationships with the U.S. Department of Education and the VA, so the policies that shape your work reflect real campus realities.
Advocacy where it counts: NAVPA testifies at congressional hearings on veterans' education legislation, bringing the frontline perspective of school certifying officials directly to lawmakers.
Stay ahead of regulatory changes: our annual conference delivers hands-on workshops, compliance updates, and peer networking so you return to campus with actionable knowledge.
Never work in a silo: tap into a nationwide network of veterans' program coordinators who share real-time answers, resources, and hard-won expertise through the NAVPA Listserv and regional connections.
Every board member is a working SCO or veterans' services professional — elected by members like you.
