A 67-year-old carpenter from Iowa has reportedly been able to send 33 strangers to college following his death in 2005.

Reports have it that the man before his death only owned two pairs of jeans and a rusty Chevrolet truck but was able to amass money running into millions in his lifetime.

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, Yahoo News reports.

Schroeder grew up poor and was never able to go to college, according to KCCI. So, shortly before the carpenter, who had never married and never had children, passed away in 2005, he approached his friend and lawyer, Steve Nielsen, to discuss what to do with his life savings.

“He wanted to help kids that were like him that probably wouldn’t have an opportunity to go to college but for his gift,” Nielsen told the station. "I said, 'How much are we talking about, Dale?' And he said, 'Oh, just shy of $3 million.' I nearly fell out of my chair."

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.

That's inspiring. I'll like to beat that 33 record. It's unfortunate he wasn't recognized in his lifetime.

The man is the real G.O A T....
Rest in Peace sir

He was lucky, it was not the era of yahoo plus. Just ordinary yahoo those days.
One boy somewhere might have been enjoying the fortune with Benz and endless reckless living.

More reason why I admire the whites but it was to be a Nigerian, they would keep hoping even when they are 6ix feet below that God would answer their prayers

"He wanted to help kids that were like him that probably wouldn’t have an opportunity to go to college but for his gift,” Nielsen told the station. "I said, 'How much are we talking about, Dale?' And he said, 'Oh, just shy of $3 million.' I nearly fell out of my chair."

Some of us have literally taken 'carpe diem' to the extreme. While I feel the man could have still enjoyed his life while leaving a lasting legacy, this selfless act just makes him more special.

What do we want to be known for when we pass away? Use your head.

Wow

The kinda people that deserve to be called celebrity

chai. Thought u were a politician

Wow

Now that is a true wealthy man, he died a fulfilled person and his name will never be forgotten even by millions of people whose lives will be touched by the 33 he helped. Not like our poor politicians that think stealing billions for their unborn generation that may not even have good health to enjoy the loot, is the way to get wealth.

God knows I can't do it...

awwwwwwwwwww

Selfless.

No rolls Royce. No Maybach.

Tell me why the man no go make heaven.

This is so touching! He lived a frugal life so he can save enough money to help people he doesn't even know!

Chai white people

Now this is nothing short of a life with a purpose

He's now a proud father of 33

These people's rational thinking level is still far ahead of us.

Nigeria and breeds of individuals.
