Book excerpt: The focus of this study was to examine the association of social support and Student Military Veterans (SMV) achieving academic success in higher education. The researcher conducted a systematic review comprised of 12 articles. The selected articles were relevant to emotional support, financial stability, social ties, and social integration as it relates to SMV achieving academic success. The target population for this study consisted of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn veterans. In conducting the systematic review and synthesizing the results from each of the 12 articles, the researcher concluded that more research examining the effects of social support and veterans achieving academic success is needed. Every article included in the synthesis falls short of fully examining potential correlation between social support and SMV achieving academic success. However, most articles included in the synthesis explore a single aspect of social support and correlated the effects with academic persistence or academic success.
