"Generous $1 Billion Donation Makes Tuition Free at Bronx Medical School"

Ruth Gottesman, widow of investor David Gottesman, donated $1 billion to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to make tuition free, ensuring no student graduates with debt. The donation comes with a surprising catch - she insisted the school not change its name, going against the norm of having buildings named after donors. Gottesman's selfless act reflects the importance of being generous and making a difference in the lives of others without seeking recognition.
