"Generous $1B Donation Makes Albert Einstein Medical School Tuition-Free"

Ruth Gottesman, widow of billionaire David Gottesman, donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, covering tuition for students in perpetuity. The donation, the largest made to a medical school, aims to attract students committed to the school's mission and alleviate financial burdens. The money came from David Gottesman's Berkshire Hathaway stock portfolio, and a condition of the gift is that the school cannot change its name.
