In a first for a big American medical school,New York University School of Medicine is to offer free tuition to all students. A universal scholarship will cover the annual $55,000 fee. NYU said the move was driven by concerns over the risk of “overwhelming” student debt; financial worries have pushed graduates towards more lucrative professions, causing shortages of doctors.
