Junior chemical engineering student, Andrew Kim, was awarded the 2023 Municipal Engineers of the City of New York (MENY) scholarship award.

The MENY was established as a society in April 1903 to promote and advance various engineering sciences in the City of New York and to elevate the standards of proficiency in technical services in the city. It became one of the leading technical and professional organizations in the city, further broadening the interpretation of professional affiliation, mission, goals, and objectives. Today, their membership includes engineers, architects, and scientists, practicing in allied fields from the public and private sectors.

The MENY offers several scholarships, for students studying Engineering, Architecture, or Engineering Sciences. The scholarships have been donated by the Horodniceanu family in memory of Claire Horodniceanu; a grant in memory of Peggy Cornell Benline; and individual member donations. 

“I am honored to receive the MENY scholarship and be recognized as a student with the potential to make a significant impact as a professional engineer. I promise to uphold the character and virtues of a professional engineer as I develop myself to join the global work force of engineers working to bring forward a better world.” – Andrew Kim ChE’25
