Medical students find out school will be tuition free

Students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine broke into cheers and tears Monday as Dr Ruth Gottesman, a former professor, announced the school would be tuition free because of her $1bn donation.

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is in the Bronx, New York City's poorest borough. Tuition at the school is nearly $59,000 each year. Gottesman's gift is the largest donation ever given to a medicine school in the US.
