Bloomberg Philanthropies donated $1 billion to Johns Hopkins University, covering tuition for medical students whose families earn less than $300,000 annually. This gift contrasts with other donations like Ruth Gottesman's and NYU's, which offer tuition-free medical education universally. Bloomberg's program aims to maximize impact while ensuring those able to pay do so. It also includes living expenses for students from families earning up to $175,000 annually, benefiting nearly two-thirds of Hopkins' medical students. Critics debate whether the $300,000 cutoff appropriately balances accessibility and philanthropic impact, emphasizing the program's potential to diversify medical education and encourage service in underserved areas.
