Veer Savarkar Support Fund For Students Established At NY CollegeIndia-West News DeskNEW YORK, NY – Anant Honkan, a distinguished alumnus of The City College of New York and Professor Emeritus of Engineering at Georgia State University, has created the Veer Savarkar Legacy Student Support Fund to help financially needy students pursuing engineering at CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering. The fund will award scholarships of $1,000 each year to undergraduate and graduate students for education-related expenses. Preference will be given to students in the mechanical engineering department, although the awards may be extended to students from other departments within the Grove School of Engineering if no eligible mechanical engineering students qualify. Honkan received a master’s degree in computer science from CCNY’s Grove School of Engineering in 1987 and later earned a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Graduate Center, CUNY. Before retiring, he spent more than three decades at Georgia Perimeter College, where he developed engineering courses.
