TCU medical school class gets tuition paid again, thanks to anonymous donor
Students in TCU’s School of Medicine’s class of 2024 received the surprise of a lifetime when an anonymous donor paid the entire class’ tuition for the 2022-23 school year.
There are 60 students in the class, according to a press release. Tuition for the 2022-23 school year is $63,032.
“This gift is meaningful beyond words,” the school’s dean, Stuart Flynn, said in the press release. “For the students in this class, it is truly powerful and will have a profound effect on their future. I am honored and humbled by this tremendous gift to our students that will have a momentous impact on their lives and those they serve in the community.”
This week’s gift to the class isn’t the only time the students have received generosity from strangers. Its 2021-22 tuition was paid for by an anonymous couple, according to the press release.
The college’s first year of medical school students, who started in 2019, had their first year of schooling paid for by Fort Worth buisinessman Paul Dorman.
It’s no secret medical school is expensive, and the press release states the average medical school student graduates with $250,000 in debt. Medical school students at TCU said they felt like the community believed in them and were grateful to not have to worry about paying for school.
