According to a TCU news release, an anonymous family donated $1.8 million to cover the cost of the students’ last semester of medical school.
The announcement was made to students via Zoom call by Stuart D. Flynn, founding dean of the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU.

The son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren of former state lawmaker Darren Bailey, who lost the 2022 gubernatorial election in Illinois and is seeking his party’s nomination again in next year’s race, were killed in the crash Wednesday. Bailey previously served in both the Illinois House and Senate.
Bailey’s son, Zachary, his wife, Kelsey, and their two young children, Vada Rose, 12, and Samuel, 7, died in the crash in a remote area of eastern Montana, his campaign said in a statement. The couple’s third child was not on the helicopter.
“Darren and Cindy are heartbroken by this unimaginable loss. They are finding comfort in their faith, their family, and the prayers of so many who love and care for them,” the statement said.

“I can’t ever or will ever vote to shut our government down,” Fetterman told Fox News.
“It was wrong if the Republicans did these things, and I led that charge back in March, saying it’s wrong to shut us down, and we kept it open. I said in March that when September comes, I’m going to be the one guy that says it’s wrong to do this. The losers are these poor Americans here that are going to get caught in the middle of this thing.”
A sticking point for Democrats has been health care, particularly wanting their Republican counterparts to extend the tax credits in the Affordable Care Act, which expire at year’s end. Fetterman rejected tying the debate over ACA credits to a shutdown.
