[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is awesome. Free tuition for anyone whose family makes less than 300k per year and they will also provide living expenses for people with families making less than 175k. And it will extend to the nursing and public health graduate programs as well. A genuinely worthwhile gift and the size of the gift means that if well managed it should be self-sustaining. Of course another option would be to tax billionaires and using the money to subsidize medical degrees for people and then also socializing our medical system but whatever.[/quote] What happens for over 300k/year? Full tuition?[/quote] Yup. Expect full tuition to go up a LOT from this year.[/quote] Hopkins doesn't want or need students from households making over $300K. They want to train the best and brightest first gen, minority students. This is because the patient outcomes from having doctors who look like the patients do and have had the same life experiences that the patients do are LIGHT YEARS better than the outcomes when this is not the case. Research has shown this time and time again. And Hopkins (and most academic medical centers) view serving the poor and closing racial and economic health outcomes gaps as a huge part of their mission. [/quote]
