NYU Announces Free Tuition For All Current and Future Medical Students
By Kelly Richman-Abdou on August 17, 2018
At the start of every school year, New York University welcomes its incoming medical students with a “White Coat Ceremony,” a special event that supplies future physicians with their signature smocks. This year, however, they were given more than just garments, as it was also announced that all students would be granted free tuition—regardless of need or merit.

뉴욕대, 의대 학생들에 수업료 영구 면제해주기로 연 55,000달러 상당 매 학기가 시작될 때마다 뉴욕대는 미래의 의사를 위한 특별한 행사 "화이트 코트 의식"으로 입학하는 의대 학생들을 환영한다. 그러나 올해에는 모든 학생들에게 수업료 면제 발표가 있었기 때문에, 그들은 옷 이상의 것을 받았다 이 계획은 즉시 시행되며, 현재는 물론 앞으로 입학하는 모든 의대생들의 연간 수업료 55,000달러가 포함된다. 등록금을 면제해 주는 국내 상위 10위의 의과대학으로서 뉴욕대학은 "전국적으로 의료 교육을 변화시키는 촉매" 역할을 하기를 바라고 있다 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |
Effective immediately, this scheme will cover the annual fee of $55,000 for all current and future medical students. As the first top 10-ranked medical school in the country to waive tuition costs, NYU hopes to act as a “catalyst for transforming medical education nationwide.”
This surprising decision has been made in light of a shocking statistic: every year, around 62% of NYU’s School of Medicine graduates are saddled with debt. Last year, these outstanding payments totaled an average of $184,000 per person, prompting many new doctors to forego fields like family medicine and pediatrics for higher-paying positions. By offering these full-tuition scholarships, however, NYU hopes to encourage new doctors to follow their passions—and not the paycheck.

“Our full-tuition scholarships make it possible for aspiring physicians to choose a specialty based on their talent and inclinations to better serve the communities who need it most, and to more easily pursue scientific breakthroughs that improve how we care for patients. We aim to turn the best and brightest future physicians into leaders with the potential to transform healthcare.”
