"Record $1 Billion Donation Ensures Free Tuition at Albert Einstein College of Medicine"
TL;DR
Dr. Ruth Gottesman, 93, donated a historic $1 billion to NYC's Albert Einstein College of Medicine, ensuring free tuition for all current and future medical students. The donation, one of the largest to any medical school in the US, will cover tuition for students in the Bronx's poorest borough and has an immediate effect on current fourth-year students. Gottesman's late husband, a Wall Street powerhouse, enabled this generous contribution, and she has a long history of philanthropy and involvement with the school.
