"Albert Einstein College of Medicine Announces Free Tuition After $1 Billion Donation"
TL;DR Summary
Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City will offer students free tuition after receiving a $1 billion donation from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, the 93-year-old widow of a major Wall Street investor. This is one of the largest donations ever made to a US school and the largest to a medical school. The gift will reimburse current students for their spring 2024 tuition and provide free tuition for all students starting in August. Dr. Gottesman's late husband, David Gottesman, left her a portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock with the instructions to "do whatever you think is right with it," leading her to fund students at Einstein with free tuition.
