"Widow's $1 Billion Donation Provides Free Tuition for Bronx Medical Students"
Ruth Gottesman, widow of a Berkshire Hathaway stockholder, has donated $1 billion of stock to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, ensuring free tuition for students in perpetuity. The donation, which came as a surprise to Gottesman, aims to alleviate the financial burden on medical students and attract a more diverse pool of applicants. Gottesman's generous gift will cover current students' tuition and provide future students with the opportunity to pursue projects and ideas without financial constraints.
