    In 1981, Reginald Edwards of the KOOL Club proposed a scholarship fund featuring high school competitions as an entertainment event. Later, Ben Scruggs introduced the Battle of the Halftimers, which gained Regional and Mid-state recognition. Proceeds from this event enabled President, Edward Cooper to establish the MTSU Kool Club Scholarship Fund to support first-year students needing financial aid.

    Annually, two scholarships are awarded to qualifying minority students, who also receive honorary Kool Club membership.
