Project Strike Back was an FBI and US Education Department program created after the September 11th attacks to review the financial aid records of college students suspected in terrorism investigations. This project, uncovered by a student at the Medill School of Journalism, sought to discover if college aid money was being fraudelently obtained to finance terrorist plots. According to FIA requests, the program was discontinued in June 2006 since beginning just 10 days after 9/11.
