The Palmer Holden Referee Scholarship:

Iowa City Kickers will provide a $50 scholarship to a deserving referee after each spring and fall season.  Selection will be based on a referee who has shown a strong work ethic and a willingness to help other referees. They have demonstrated a desire to grow their referee skills through consistent performance and continued communication about game events. Like Palmer, these referees will have shown a drive to ensure that the youth players at Kickers have safe, fun matches.
