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 28 years, Duncan Aviation has advanced the futures of students through the Karen K. Duncan Scholarship programme.

"In honour of my mother's strong belief in education, the Karen K. Duncan Scholarship Programme 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 28 years since we started this programme, 463 scholarships totalling $2,223,750 have been awarded."

All dependent children of full-time Duncan Aviation team members who are entering a two-year or four-year college programme or technical school in the autumn of 2026 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 students from local communities will receive the 2026 scholarships that together could total up to $100,000.
