Free ride in med school?

Medical students at the University of Houston won't have to worry about paying tuition. Thanks to an anonymous gift of $3 million, 30 students in the fall of 2020 inaugural class at UH's College of Medicine will have their tuition paid in advance.

"Debt is the biggest challenge for almost all students who apply to medical school,"says Renu Khator, University of Houston president. "This generous gift will allow such students an opportunity to attend medical school and eventually lead the medical workforce." The gift marks a scholarship milestone for the university.
