The Award
The Inspiration Through Exploration Literary Award
Presented By The University of Tampa
This award will be presented annually to a student near completion of the fall semester. Offered through the University of Tampa's Honors Program, The Inspiration Through Exploration Literary Award has been established to
honor the life of Timothy M. Smith.
Although a lawyer by trade, Tim's true passion was traveling the world and writing about his many experiences. In the spirit of Tim's finest qualities and to compensate for all that was lost with his passing, this award was established. The purpose of the Award is to provide the winning student with the opportunity, that might not otherwise be available, to travel and find additional inspiration to continue their literary aspirations.
Winning author will receive $2,500 to be used towards travel during summer break.
