At 93, Ruth Gottesman, a retired professor, donated her late husband’s $1 billion fortune to fund free tuition for all students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine located in one of New York’s poorest areas. Her husband had told her, “Do what you think is right.” She chose education over luxury, and impact over indulgence. Ruth spent her life helping kids with learning disabilities. Now, her gift will help thousands of future doctors graduate debt-free and serve where they’re needed most.
