I wouldn't name your child this, because nobody will pronounce it right. Most people will pronounce it "Shuyler" or "Shuller".

Schuyler doesn't mean scholar in Dutch. The Dutch word for scholar is scholier or student. The basic meaning of Schuyler is someone who seeks shelter (from bad weather).

Schuyler Grant who plays Diana Barry in the "Anne of Green Gables" series.
The meaning of "scholar" makes no sense. The Dutch word for scholar is "geleerde". Schuyler seems like it's an old spelling of schuiler, which comes from the verb schuilen, which means "to take shelter". Therefore, Schuyler means "person who takes shelter".
