The Lt. Paul J. Smith Memorial Scholarship is an endowment created by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Paul and Susan Smith after the tragic death of their son, Paul “Jay” Smith, 1st LT., USAF, in the ValuJet Flight 592 crash on May 11, 1996. This endowment serves to celebrate his life and their love for him, and to honor his unselfish, loving nature.
