Holloway was chosen as this year's winner by the GLVC Awards Committee and will be formally recognized by the league at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car GLVC Spring Awards Reception in St. Charles, Mo., on Tuesday, May 20.

A former basketball student-athlete at the Missouri S&T, Holloway was nominated by the Miners' administration. The Bertram Alumni Award of Distinction is an honor that extends beyond one's collegiate career. It is presented to an individual(s) who displays academic excellence, athletic ability and achievement, character, and leadership, while serving their institutions with personal distinction since their graduation, while also making postgraduate public or community service contributions to athletics at any level.

A 1997 graduate of S&T, Holloway was a four-year member of the Miners' men's basketball team. He was named to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) First Team in his senior season (1996-97), along with earning All-MIAA Honorable Mention recognition in 1994-95 and 1995-96. Holloway led the team in points his last three seasons, as well as finishing top-3 in program history for his career in assists (343), three-point makes (241), and free throw percentage (84.3%).

Former S&T Sports Information Director John Kean said, "While the numbers Tim produced for his career speak of his athletic success, he also displayed tremendous leadership and sportsmanship throughout his career as a Miner. Those traits have carried over to his professional career…and he continues to work in the basketball circles, as well."

Holloway obtained his Bachelor of Science in business administration from Missouri S&T in May 1997. In 2005, he landed with Keefe Commissary Network in St. Louis as Vice President Controller, a company that provides efficient solutions to managing financial services for inmates. He quickly rose to Vice President for Business Administration and has served in that position for the last 19 years.

Holloway has also been very active in the St. Louis community, volunteering for numerous organizations since moving back to the area after his time at S&T. He served as Board Member and Treasurer for Charley's Body Shoppe from 2010-20 before Holloway further deepened his community involvement by becoming a Community Volunteer with 100 Black Men of America of Metropolitan St. Louis, where he helps to improve the quality of life in communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all.

Since 2021, Holloway has also contributed to the national sports landscape as a Selection Committee Member for the McDonald's All-American Game, assisting with identifying and recognizing the most talented high school basketball players in the country. Locally, Holloway serves as President of Bradley Beal's Elite Basketball Club, a premier basketball program nurturing future talent in the St. Louis area.

Holloway adds to his list of accolades after being inducted into the Missouri S&T Hall of Fame in 2012 and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class of Filbert Five honorees.
