"Former Professor's $1 Billion Gift Makes Bronx Medical School Tuition-Free"

The Montefiore Albert Einstein School of Medicine in the Bronx, New York, has received a historic $1 billion donation, allowing for free tuition for all medical school students. This marks the largest donation to any medical school in the United States and aims to attract a diverse pool of students who may not have had the means to pursue a medical education. The donation is expected to have a significant impact on the community, as doctors educated at the school may choose to work there, benefiting an area with high poverty and health challenges.
