The Schoolers were born and lived their lives in Jasper County.  They reared their six children in the Zion Community where they were active members of the Zion Baptist Church.  Upon their retirement from farming, they moved to Carthage and become members of the First Baptist Church there.

​

The scholarship was begun and has been maintained by their children for the communities of Jasper County.  The Schooler's love for the church along with their active involvement in the churches has been a model for their family and friends.

​

Their influence lives on in the contributions made to those who are preparing for ministry and church related vocations.
