Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you. Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - David Geffen, benefactor of the UCLA School of Medicine and entertainment executive, has given the school a gift of $100 million to be spent on providing full rides to 30 incoming med school students.
The gift makes Geffen the single-largest donor to the UC system in history.
Geffen, 69, has not commented to the media, but said in a statement he is trying to encourage students to pursue medicine without fearing the expense.
Most medical students graduate with as much as an average $200,000 in debt upon graduation.
Thanks to Geffen, 30 students won't have to fear that anymore.
