Eloquent Essentials Youth Scholarship Program (EEYSP) is a 501 c3 nonprofit that was established in 2016 to connect, build and provide support to  young entrepreneurs and 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.   There are two components of EEYSP: APOTTS Award (Ambitious Person Overtly Trying To Succeed) - 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.   GEMS Award (Greatly Enriched Mentorship Services)  - acknowledges organizations with an established record of positive results.  The mentoring organization must be an effective program that creates a safe and secure haven for children, displays proven cultivation of youth outside of their normal environments, provide resources for youth to achieve academic success  and supply tools to help navigate through life..
