After 14 years, the carpenter's fund has run dry, but the 33 recipients of his scholarship monies, who refer to themselves as 'Dale's Kids,' have promised to pay it forward.
A man from Iowa, who worked as a carpenter for 67 years at the same business, reportedly owned two pairs of jeans and a rusty Chevrolet truck but was able to send 33 strangers to college following his death in 2005. After quietly amassing $3 million in savings, Dale Schroeder set up a fund for students in Iowa who could not afford tuition. Now, after 14 years, those funds have finally run out after 14 years.
Most of that money went into Schroeder's scholarship fund, which helped future teachers, doctors and therapists fulfill their dreams of continuing to higher education. On Saturday, Dale's Kids gathered around Schroeder's old lunchbox to talk about how he changed their lives, despite having never known them. One was Kira Conard.
