Duke’s dream was to become a naval aviator and a professional pilot. As he was unable to achieve that goal, the foundation is committed to helping others attain their aviation goals in his place. The Duke Carrillo Foundation is excited to announce Fly For Duke. Beginning in 2024, the Foundation began offering Fly For Duke aviation scholarships to aspiring aviators between the ages of 18 and 23 to earn a private pilot’s license. The Fly For Duke scholarship program will continue to include financial assistance and mentoring to support and guide the recipients as they go through their training.
