Apparently, Walt was driving the two brothers back to the studio from where they were and the boys said that they wanted to donate all the royalties from the song "it's a small world" to the kids. Immediately following that, Walt slammed the brakes on and pulled over and told them that they "Weren't going to give those royalties away." and "Don't be silly... you're getting a lot of money for this."
So, in a round-a-bout way the Sherman Brothers *could* have potentially used it to put their kids through schooling and post-secondary.
It took a while to search for this and I found the college reference in a blog on the LA Weekly website "It's a Small World at 45: Songwriter Richard Sherman and Costumer Alice Davis on the Creation of Your Mom's Favorite Disney Ride"
