20 Students Earn Karen K. Duncan Scholarship
Duncan Aviation supports its local communities once again by awarding 20 students the Karen K. Duncan Scholarship. The company awards the children of its team members each year; each scholarship winner receives up to $4,000 for his or her college education—$1,000 a semester for up to two years.
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 scholarships that together could total up to $80,000:
Dayna Allen, daughter of Jill and Donald Allen
