Summary
The National Youth Administration was organized in 1935 as an expansion of the College Student Aid Program to extend financial aid to needy high school students. With the outbreak of World War II, activities were refocused from providing odd jobs to training youths in trades vital to the war effort. National Youth Administration programs were discontinued in 1943 due to wartime labor shortages. This collection consists of applications by students for National Youth Administration assistance. Also included are reports of N.Y.A. projects in Utah and scrapbooks containing photoprints of N.Y.A. activities in Utah.
