JOHNS HOPKINS ANNOUNCES $1 BILLION GIFT

Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer have to pay tuition thanks to a major gift.  The university announced yesterday that it is getting one-billion dollars from Bloomberg Philanthropies.  Medical students from families making less than 300-thousand dollars a year will not pay tuition beginning this fall.  Students from families making less than 175-thousand dollars a year will also have their living expenses covered by the university.  The money will also provide additional financial aid for graduate students at the university.
