IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Seniors Katie Brown (rowing) and Charles Holliday (men's swimming and diving) were chosen as the University of Iowa's recipients of the annual Big Ten Conference Postgraduate Scholarship. Twenty-eight student-athletes from the 14 Big Ten institutions, who plan to continue their education at a graduate degree program, were awarded the scholarship, based primarily on academic achievements, and $15,000 will be awarded to each institution.
Brown, a native of Fox Lake, Illinois, is the coxswain of Iowa's first varsity eight crew, which is the fastest on the team. She was chosen as Iowa's Big Ten Medal of Honor winner earlier this month, and will enroll in the behavior specialist I program at the University of Illinois.
