Is it true that the federal student loan program in the United States was created during Ronald Reagan's presidency?

No. A Wikipedia reference states federal student loans became broadly available under the Higher Education Act of 1965, with the first federally-insured loan in 1967 and the first major government loan program (Sallie Mae) formed in 1973, all before Reagan took office. A peer-reviewed history adds that income-contingent student loan financing was proposed and implemented in the US since at least 1971.
