A New York City medical school will offer students free tuition following a $1bn donation from the 93-year-old widow of a major Wall Street investor.
The gift to Albert Einstein College of Medicine came from Dr Ruth Gottesman, a former professor at the Bronx school.
It is one of the largest ever donations made to a US school and is the largest ever made to a medical school.
The Bronx, New York City's poorest borough, is ranked as the unhealthiest of New York state's 62 counties.
In a statement, university dean Dr Yaron Yomer said that the "transformational" gift "radically revolutionises our ability to continue attracting students who are committed to our mission, not just those who can afford it".
Students in their fourth year at Einstein, located in the Bronx in New York City, will be reimbursed for the spring 2024 semester, and beginning in August, tuition will be free "in perpetuity," the school said Monday.
Tuition at the school is nearly $59,000 (£46,500) each year, leaving students with substantial debt.
