Blessons Scholarships for Women
Not every adult learner that advances into higher education signs up for a four-year curriculum. Many adults today seek job training that lasts a year or two, and then places them in the workforce. Technical, trade and vocational schools do not always bask in the financial aid limelight attracted by high-profile universities, but Blessons Scholarships for Women awards are available for trade schools too.
Not every student is top of their graduating class when it comes to GPAs, and many of them are overlooked when it comes time to hand out scholarship money. These same students may have accomplishments outside of their test scores, however. Blessons, NFP recognizes these women with scholarships tailored specifically for their hard work as they faced challenging life lessons.
The Blessons Awards are funded by donations and are unique and may often function as the only source of support for women where no other granting and scholarship organizations may exist or are accessible in it’s nature where grade point average is NOT a deciding factor. They give women the resources to realize their educational goals to use the funds in whatever way that helps them most such as: books, tuition, on-campus health insurance, cafeteria, computer labs and transportation.
What's Your BS? - A Women's Blessons Story (Free Monthly Women's Group Support)
Blessons believes that every woman should have a safe space to share their challenging life lesson while empowering one another.
The tougher the lesson, the bigger the blessing. When you look at a person, any person, remember that everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed them. Life can feel like a test that we didn’t study for. Painful and challenging lessons in life will continue to be repeated until they are learned. The greatest prison that we live in, is the fear of what other people think. Your story is the key that can unlock someone else’s prison. From every wound there is a scar and every scar tells a story. A story that says, 'I survived'. Never be ashamed of your story. It just might empower and save a life. The impact of having someone to talk to, a mentor, that understands your challenging life lessons because they too have experienced similar experiences, is one of the best practices of empowerment.
Monthly Women's Workshops & Wellness Clinics
Blessons is dedicated to empower women of all ages through monthly personal and professional development workshop, provided for FREE. We value the importance of building self-confidence in a woman and providing them with resources in order to guide them in discovering and fulfilling true potential through several diverse events within our Community Engagement Program.
We believe that education sets in motion a virtuous spiral: girls and women gain greater knowledge, skills, self-confidence and capabilities, improving their own life prospects—and, in turn, an educated woman provides better nutrition, health care, and education for her family. Education enables a woman to take greater control of her life and gain inclusion in decision-making processes, which unleashes her potential to contribute socially and economically to her family’s and community’s well being.
Blessons free programs including our mentorship, workshop and scholarship programs are provided to empower all women including those women who have suffered from challenging lessons including sex crimes and physical and emotional abuse. There are many groups of women who simply cannot handle having men participating in class/workshop with them. They may be victims of rape and abuse. ... (Exclusion) is not done to discriminate men, it is done to respect the women. Thank you for your understanding and respecting the women we provide our free services to.
