Retired professor Dr. Ruth Gottesman donates $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, ensuring free tuition for all current and future students. The donation, believed to be the largest to any medical school in the U.S., will have an immediate impact, reimbursing current fourth-year students and providing free tuition for all students starting in August. The gift aims to attract students committed to the school's mission and enable them to pursue projects without financial constraints. The donation was made possible by Gottesman's late husband, and it will alleviate the burden of high tuition costs for students, many of whom graduate with significant debt.
