Dr. John J. Schumacher founded Southwestern University School of Law in 1911.
Schumacher intended the university to be an independent, nonprofit, nonsectarian institution.
[2] For this reason, the university actively encouraged the enrollment of minorities and women.
The John J. Schumacher Minority Leadership scholarship program was created to provide up to full-tuition scholarships for entering minority students with exceptional academic and leadership potential.
