I first wrote about Julie Flygare back in 2015 and it’s awesome to hear that she’s as committed as ever to advancing the cause of raising awareness about narcolepsy.

I got the recent scoop on Julie from an article in Sleep Review (a journal for sleep specialists) which made me smile. You go girl! I mean, how impressive is it that she and a generous family known as the Graham’s have offered several $1,000 scholarships to college-bound high school students?!

Instead of living like a victim because of her narcolepsy, she’s chosen to do her part to fight back.

And now, you can fight back, too!

Don’t be a victim. If you know of a high school student who is determined to go to a four-year college—OR—if that’s YOU, don’t wait! Fill out an application to get your college scholarship now!

Applications need to be submitted by April 1^st, 2016.

Please, if you’ve been awarded with one of these amazing scholarships, I’d love to hear from you! What did you do with the money? Did you spend it on books? Tuition? A train ticket to get home safely during the holidays?
