“Entire class of medical students at University of Houston to get free tuition, thanks to anonymous donor”

University of Houston College of Medicine announced on Wednesday that an anonymous donor gave $3 million to the school to fund the inaugural class entirely for all four years of medical training. The school will begin accepting applications next year for the class beginning in fall 2020, giving priority to students from Texas who plan to stay local to practice medicine.
