The University of Findlay recently announced the endowment of the Ann and L. Jack Ruscilli Football Scholarship Endowment Fund, established as part of the University’s 125th anniversary celebration.

Ann (Colburn ’65) and Jack ’66 Ruscilli have established this scholarship to attract and retain a Franklin County or neighboring county football recruit to play for the UF Oilers.

The Ruscillis, both alums of The University of Findlay, were interested in giving something special back to their alma mater. Jack also is a member of the UF Board of Trustees.
