While Sputnik was the major immediate cause for getting the NDEA passed, other factors also influenced its formation. One reason for its creation can be connected to the President’s Commission on Higher Education of 1947, titled [[Higher Education for American Democracy]].{{Cite report |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep36603.5 |title=Background and Context for P.L. 85-864,³ The National Defense Education Act (NDEA) |last=Flattau |first=Pamela Ebert |last2=Bracken |first2=Jerome |last3=Van Atta |first3=Richard |last4=Bandeh-Ahmadi |first4=Ayeh |last5=de la Cruz |first5=Rodolfo |last6=Sullivan |first6=Kay |date=2006 |publisher=Institute for Defense Analyses |pages=I–1 to I-3}} This commission aimed to have more American men and women attend higher education programs and graduate from 4-year colleges and universities. In the long term, the NDEA was intended to be used in tandem with other educational programs created by the federal government.

The purpose of Title III was to provide matching grants for public schools and to provide loans to nonprofit schools to allow them to get more equipment and materials to provide better instruction in math, science, and foreign languages.{{Cite report |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep36603.7 |title=NDEA Title III: Financial Assistance for Strengthening Science, Mathematics, and Modern Foreign Language Instruction |last=Flattau |first=Pamela Ebert |last2=Bracken |first2=Jerome |last3=Van Atta |first3=Richard |last4=Bandeh-Ahmadi |first4=Ayeh |last5=de la Cruz |first5=Rodolfo |last6=Sullivan |first6=Kay |date=2006 |publisher=Institute for Defense Analyses |pages=III–1 to III-5}} These funds were also allowed to be used to remodel some laboratories on school campuses. Title III, though never formally repealed, has not been funded since 1978. Funding for this type of program now falls under the [[Elementary and Secondary Education Act|Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA),]] and the remodeling sections of the act falls under the [[National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities|National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965]].
