"Lauren of Ezra's Enterprises did a phenomenal job presenting scholarship options and guidance on finding a variety of niche scholarships to our students! I learned so much from this presentation, which was fresh and engaging. Students were engaged throughout and had several follow-up questions. Her professionalism is only outmatched by her passion to support students, especially those who are often underserved. If you are looking for ways to get your students advocating for themselves and to provide tools that help to access ALL that is available to them, look no further than Lauren Pitts and Ezra's Enterprises!" -Janiece Little, AVID & Upward Bound Teacher, Southside High School

Taking advantage of the services from Ezra's Enterprises will help me prepare my daughter for a successful college career path. Thanks to Ezra’s Enterprises…YOU ROCK!! " - Quiwanna L.

" From the first workshop (Preparing for Your Higher Education), the experience was excellent. Lauren was very professional when explaining the service’s they provide for myself and my rising 10th grader. We are excited about this college journey. I had no experience with preparing a child for college, and at first I didn’t know how I was going to do so. Now, I am grateful for this supportive service! It has taken a huge load off of me. I am able to enjoy this special moment while planning. Understanding the work that Ezra’s provides is very important. I’m grateful to Ezra’s for this special needed service. May God continue to richly bless the hard work and dedication put into Ezra’s. Thanks Ezra’s for the support, encouragement and the educational pieces that’s so need! Ezra’s is now apart of my village adding value, time, and most importantly education! " - Keyisha Smith, Parent Workshop Participant, Pleasant Valley Connection Community Center
