What’s crazy is how many other universities could do this- make themselves tuition-free- from their endowments and still see growth. Most of the Ivies, for example, could charge zero for all undergraduates.
And why is this not all over the place... Can we please spread some good news like and share!!!!!
Those who got it most likely will vote democrat lol
what does this have to do with politics
Yeah, probably because we'd prefer to have educated people .
This may be hard for a Republican to accept boo! hoo!
The payout is worth the millions of dollars 💸 kept from Republican's
Just imagine a family able to pay for ALL costs of living so they could be a lawyer , educator , nurse, or doctor who will one day work on your sorry a*s
Another dumb maga boomer. Lol. .
Another dumb maga boomer. Lol. .
So what if they do? They're getting a free education and it's amazing. Everyone in the U.S. should get a free college education.
They just bought your compliance.
Why aren’t all the universities paying off student debt with their huge endowments
Thanks to that woman's husband.
And her decision to pay it forward.
Just wonderful!!
Damn, that must of been some fantastic investment to make 1 billion dollars?!
Well the company they invested in is Warren Buffett's company so yeah, pretty good investment lol
He has at least 4 billions dollar of BRK stock. This information is public due her late husband was a member of board of director of Berkshire Hathaway.
cool just as long as it's not tax payer's money.
If you watched the video you would know it was a donation...get it together bobbob
How to say I am a Maga boomer without saying it.
This guy.....
You don't want taxpayers' money going to education, which is what it's for?!
@@EveningStreets No just to big corporations and already rich folk.
@@backpackingorbust3875oh look a millenial bigot trying to virtue signal. GFYAH
Bless her heart. If theres heaven these kind of people should be first in line.
Nah, her husband earned it over decades, he is first in line.
Gave me chills
This tell me how much tuition is overpriced and the donation is paying at wholesale without the mark up. Very generous tho. They all owe her their first borns 😂
I could use some for my continuing education
Pay for it yourself!
Then go to that school.
Simple
But you don't get admitted
I Was Thinking More Like The School Of Hard Knocks…
Not everyone can check the boxes for admittance or funding.
@@TheJustJoe As it should be!
THIS can't possibly be a good thing!!! ...a free ANYTHING ?
America was free...stolen, I mean
This is definitely a good thing for the students. You have NO idea the financial burden med students take. Absolutely none. They come out with $200,000+ in debt with interest and that just med school, remember that they also went to a 4 year college. After med school they do residency, which is around $60k for anywhere from 3 to 10 years. If the average age of a first year student is 24 then they'll be done in their 30's.
I can tell you're a boomer by the way you type. What is it with your generation?
Other countries have free education. The youth are the country's future. Even the poorest countries scrimp and save to educate their children.
You get what you paid for.
A medical education? Lol what's ur fuckin problem?
Jewish students get another handout
😂. Future slaves of the system have been bought and paid for. Make sure you obey them after you graduate. 😂.
@MrNobodyJonesthey are going to be well educated, which means it’s likely they won’t be republicans 😂
Another dumb maga boomer. Lol. .

Why is no one asking how long this will last?
It’s perpetual, the donation was huge, pretty sure one of those students will pay it forward in the future 👍🏾.
It's a billion dollars.... That's a lot of m'fn zeros. If the fund is taken care of properly it could last a long time.
@@zimrasawyer1881 The place has about 1,000 students at any given time with $60,000 per year for tuition for each. That ends up being $1,667 years paid for. Google says the average student takes 5.8 years to graduate (we'll reduce that to 5). The result is 333.4 students completely paid for (and that is being generous). Not sure where all of these "tuition perpetually paid for" news articles are coming from. It was only one donation of one billion. Unless the person who donated is planning to do it every year, I don't see this as a big deal (even though I think it is a great thing, especially for the students who are benefiting from it). In truth, I think it may be for all of the students for just the next few years or something? What am I missing here?
The interest on a billion dollars will likely cover tuition for a very long time without substantially detracting from the principal. Moreover, there are a significant amount of laws in place that regulate academic endowments. You don't make a donation this big without having top lawyers, accountants, and consultants ensuring its effectiveness.
@@sheakelsrtn Thanks for the thoughtful answer.
Goody, goody! More taxes for those of us with non-doctor salaries.
This was a personal donation. has nothing to do with your taxes
Most educated republican 😂
Another dumb maga
Bekah is a skimmer for trolling 😂
Another dumb maga boomer. Lol. .
Pay out of your own pockets
@MrNobodyJones convince me that democrats don't work off of donations....COME ON it'll be fun.
Soros, Rockefeller, Rothchild, Windsor, Blackrock...Vanguard...
go ahead
@MrNobodyJones Convince me that Democrats don't work off of donations.
Soros, Clinton, Rothchild, Rockefeller, Windsor, Blackrock,Vanguard....the list is long,
Unless they come from immense wealth, NO ONE pays for med school out of their own pockets.
Thus is going to turn into a GIANT ish show😅
Screw donations how about tuition free college.
No, it needs to be incredibly expensive to become an America hating communist with no actual job skills.
Nothing is free in this world, somebody has to pay.
You are not entitled to other people's services. We fought a war to end slavery!
How woul you pay all the teachers and administrators and facility staff? How would you feed the students on campus? How would you pay for the water and electricity? How would you pay for building repairs when things begin to break down? You didn't go to college yourself did you?
@@donaldgrove1971 Countries that offer free university- Germany, Norway, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, France, Iceland, Hungary, Italy, Poland Slovenia, Cyprus, Ireland, South Korea, Switzerland, Romania, Netherlands, Scotland.
We’re all the immigrants honey
I'm not, Honey. I was born here, just like my great-grandparents. ( No, we're not American Indians).
@@peterkilbridge6523 😂🤣like I said … honey!
No such thing as free lunch.
The government should pay to go to medical school they benefit just as much as the doctor would make..
Thats called buying votes!
Another dumb maga boomer. Lol. .
This was not much money so I think its a false hope for others students we need doctors nurses we can prayer for all students be blessed .
B.S.! The rest of us have to work to earn our degree
Cope. If I had a lot of extra money I would donate to help with tuition(not in ungrateful republican areas tho)
