After 25 years of service to the Hunterdon County community, Bonnie Duncan retired in 2022 from her position as CEO of United Way of Hunterdon County. During her tenure, Bonnie Duncan passionately and selflessly served the needs of Hunterdon County’s low-to-moderate-income families with a focus on reducing education, health, and financial stability disparities within our community.
In her honor, United Way of Hunterdon County has established the Bonnie Duncan Scholarship Fund to support access to post-secondary education and/or certification among Hunterdon County students demonstrating financial need. Each year, the Bonnie Duncan Scholarship committee awards one scholarship to a recipient in Hunterdon County, alternating each year between a high school senior and an adult learner. In 2024, the fund will award a scholarship to an adult learner.
