About This Cause
Blessons for Women is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 2016 by Khitam Masoud, a cancer survivor, charity athlete and inspirational impetus dedicated to empower women by advancing economically through scholarships towards securing a skilled trade profession, while advancing spiritually through women’s wellness and mental health programs including professional development workshops. Financial Assistance Towards Continuing Education Blessons mission is meant for women who have a vision to succeed in spite of obstacles. The most important aspect for many women is their family. This is especially true if they happen to be older women. For ladies who have taken time to raise a family either before they entered college or sometime after they did, returning to school to better themselves and their job prospects can become expensive in a hurry. One of the main reasons why many non-traditional female students cannot finish is due to experiencing challenging life lessons including financial hardship. Many skilled trade jobs require continued education courses to maintain an active license and certificate in their fields. Scholarships and financial aid assistance for returning students and working skilled trade professionals are in need and not many exist. Funded by donations with an intent to provide scholarships to women 25 years of age or older who are interested in finishing their education and advancing their career, Blessons Scholarships for Women Awards can help them fund their continued education through community colleges, trade schools, vocational and tech programs. Assistance is also available for CE courses to maintain an active license or certification. Life gets in the way for a number of women. In addition to challenging life lessons such as; cancer, mental health conditions, physical or emotional abuse, sex trafficking, discrimination and isolation due to sexual orientation, or being a first-generation female immigrant, they may also have kids, get involved with careers and simply push school off until later. When the time comes to finally go back and get a degree, certificate, license and/or pursue a new skill or trade to get back into the workforce, it can be cost-prohibitive to do so.
