What will a $10,000 gift mean for students at Meharry Medical College?

Students can use the money any way they want, but it could help them reduce debt, and pay for living costs.

Meharry master's student Andreas Nelson said being given $10,000 means the school trusts students to use the money in ways useful to them. Nelson hopes to attend dental school, which leaves the average Meharry student with $280,000 in loans.
