    At $60K tuition x 500 students = $30M / yr. Simple interest on $1B at 3% per year over 20 years = $30M / yr.

    They can pay for 500 medical students, practically forever, without touching the principal.

    According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein_College_of_Medicine, in 2021, they matriculated 183 students (out of 9773 applicants). That means they can double the number of ‘free tuition’ students and the endowment will still keep growing.
