Expanding educational opportunities for Findlay’s youth has long been a priority for Mike and Pat Oxley. As parents, Mike and Pat are eager to help young people realize their dreams. Mike, a 1962 graduate of Findlay High School, credits the education he received in Hancock County with laying the foundation for his legislative career. The U.S. Representative for the Fourth Congressional District of Ohio since 1981, Mike has worked hard to make higher education an attainable goal for all students. Pat, a former Board member of the Findlay YMCA, has been involved in numerous philanthropic activities both in Hancock County and the Washington, DC area, organizing events aimed at improving the lives of children and families. They are proud to make this scholarship available to graduating seniors at Findlay High School.
