About the Foundation

Duke’s short life was one of outstanding leadership, generosity, and selfless care for others. As an academic standout at the United States Naval Academy, Duke maintained a 4.0 GPA as a quantitative economics major with aspirations to become a naval aviator. “Live Like Duke” represents the values he embraced – leadership, integrity, commitment and service to his country. The Duke Carrillo Foundation honors him by offering Fly For Duke aviation scholarships anually.
