JPMorgan Chase awards additional $8 million grant to support military veterans at Syracuse University

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — JPMorgan Chase has announced an additional $8 million grant to support the national training and research programs over the next three years at Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF).

The grant announcement comes a decade after JPMorgan’s original grant to “enhance” the post-service lives of veterans and military families through the university’s IVMF, per a Syracuse news release.

The timing of the grant renewal comes as both the IVMF and the JPMorgan Chase’s office of military and veteran affairs observe 10 years of focusing on the post-service lives of military families. Since 2011, IVMF training and programs have directly impacted more than 150,000 transitioning service members, veterans, and military families. The figure includes more than 70,000 who have benefited from entrepreneurship training, Syracuse said.
