The Student War Loans Program was one of five essential wartime programs administered by the U.S. Office of Education. The Division of Higher Education administered two of these programs, namely the Engineering, Science, and Management Training Program and the Student War Loans Program. Through the Student War Loans Program more than 11,000 young men in 286 colleges and universities were enabled to enter upon, and to pursue, an accelerated program of studies during the critical war years of 1942-1944.
