he life of Michael Barlin — late son of Judy & Wayne Barlin — was celebrated on November 15th at a Miami reception launching The Michael Jon Barlin Scholarship Fund, to benefit college students who are affected by Lupus, a chronic, autoimmune disease which causes inflammation of various parts of the body. Mike lost his courageous 10-year battle with Lupus on August 16, 2006 at the young age of 24. The Lupus Foundation of America, Southeast Florida Chapter, is privileged to offer an annual $5,000 scholarship to support the educational expenses of a Southeast Florida resident diagnosed with lupus. The scholarship is in memory of Michael Jon Barlin, who died from complications of lupus at age twenty-four. He struggled with the debilitating effects of the disease for ten years, but during that time managed to obtain a BS degree with honors from the University of Miami. Michael touched many people during his short life and those close to him and his family have established this scholarship fund to assist college students bearing the extra burden of this disease.

In the interest of providing additional opportunities to potential students, the Florida Association of Postsecondary Schools and Colleges has once again moved the deadline for submission for a $1,000 or $5,000 Dade Medical College scholarship to June 30th, 2009. There is still more than $130K available for various programs of study at the Miami and Hialeah campuses of the college, including Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography, Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound, General Radiologic Technologist and more. FAPSC Deputy Executive Director Wanda Taylor offers this on the second extension: With budget cuts at public institutions and economic conditions negatively affecting many Florida families, the FAPSC Board of Directors extended the deadline for students to apply. We hope students will take advantage of this opportunity and contact us for information.
