Scholarships that Pay for Tuition
Making Medical School More Affordable
Einstein hopes to make careers in medicine available to everyone. We are proud to award all M.D. students at Einstein a David S. and Ruth L. Gottesman Scholarship that covers the cost of tuition and fees. We also pair incoming students with financial counselors to provide guidance on additional resources available to help pay for the full cost of attendance.
