WHO WE ARE
Eloquent Essentials Youth Scholarship Program (EEYSP) is a 501c3 organization that was established in 2016 to connect, build and provide support to (a) under-represented minorities (African American and Hispanic) pursuing the path of entrepreneurship and (b) youth mentoring programs with credible records of influential change. Mentorship and financial support are intricate parts to helping one succeed. EEYSP recognizes that we all possess an innate ability to be great and our mission is to assist both entrepreneurs and mentoring programs to fulfill their objectives. They are able to dream big, craft their gifts /talents, walk in their purpose and execute their ability to become successful people. It is through our noble acts that children / young adults can reach their goals and create their own legacy of success and generational wealth that will be passed on for years to come.

Eloquent Essentials Youth Scholarship Program (EEYSP) has two components:
​
-
APOTTS Award (Ambitious Person Overtly Trying To Succeed) in honor of Adrian Allen Potts - tailored to support young entrepreneurs ages 10-19 years who are purpose driven, display a young mogul mindset, present a kindred heart and a strong will to be successful.
