Now he and his wife want to give back. The aim of the program will be to make contact with Hispanic High School students and offer need and merit based scholarships if they enroll in the University of Chicago. The Neubauer Foundation, which has given a total of $78 million to the university, did not indicate how many scholarships would be given. National Hispanic Recognition Scholars will be invited onto campus to take undergraduate courses in the summer.
Neubauer graduated from the Booth school of business from the university in 1965 and has served on its board of trustees since 1992.
