Supporting local communities is one of Duncan Aviation’s core values. One way the company invests in its communities is through the children of its team members. For 25 years, Duncan Aviation has advanced the futures of students through the Karen K. Duncan Scholarship program.
“In honor of my mother’s strong belief in education, the Karen K. Duncan Scholarship Program was started to help Duncan Aviation team members fund post-secondary education expenses for their kids,” says Todd Duncan, Chairman of Duncan Aviation. “In the 25 years since we started this program, 401 scholarships totaling $1,952,500 have been awarded.”
All dependent children of full-time Duncan Aviation team members who are entering a two-year or four-year college program or technical school in the fall of 2023 were eligible. Each scholarship winner will receive up to $5,000 for his or her college education—$1,250 a semester for up to four semesters.
An independent committee reviewed applicants’ essays and assigned point values to them. Students also earned points for academic achievement, leadership, citizenship, career goals and extracurricular activities.
The following students from local communities will receive the 2023 scholarships that together could total up to $100,000.
