Scholarship

The time is now for women to pursue their dream of a career in the trades....and The Jessi Combs Foundation (JCF) is here to fuel those dreams through our annual scholarship program.

Jessi Combs was a pioneer female. She worked harder than many – with more grit and determination than most – to earn her position as an expert in several male-dominated industries including the trades. We are dedicated to continuing the work Jessi started including her commitment to inspiring women to pursue a career in the trades. This is one of the ways we fulfill our mission to educate, inspire and empower the next-generation of trailblazing and stereo-type breaking women…..like Jessi.

More than a scholarship…….the program is a platform for driving change within the cultural fabric of the trades industry; creating pathways for more women to enter, thrive, and succeed. We seek to elevate awareness of the trades as a viable career path for women by shining a spotlight on past scholarship winners, those who are driven to apply and others who have already found fulfillment in their chosen field.

"The Jessi Combs foundation has changed my life. They've helped me not only with my education, but how to grow and succeed in the industry. While providing a kind of support that I, to this day cannot find anywhere else. To have so many amazing women ready to cheer you on during some of the toughest days and challenges in my career, is a gift that I will never be able to repay. That is why I encourage women to apply for this scholarship. Because you not only get a scholarship, you get a family ready to accept you with open arms."

-Kirsten Williams, 2022 Scholarship Recipient

"The Jessi Combs Foundation is the pinnacle of empowerment, growth, and opportunity for women with the desire to enter the skilled trades world, and as an opportunity to accelerate your current skill set. The foundation stands true to Jessi’s values in everything they do: To educate, inspire, empower. The JCF has changed my life and has assisted me in furthering my education where I financially was unable to. Through the JCF, I have made lifelong friends, networked in new industries, added to my skill set, have new career opportunities, and best of all, we get to represent and honor a pioneer for the future of the trades industry."
