Stetson University and the HATS Program are committed to identifying and serving high achieving students.

We realize that not all students take traditional paths to college. Some students attend public school, some attend private school, and some are home schooled. Some are immigrant children who are learning English as their second language, so perhaps their academic gifts are not clearly evident to classroom teachers. Some will be the first person in their family to attend college, while others know it is expected of them because family members before them attended college.

No matter who you are - regardless of your culture, your financial resources, your educational experiences - if you are a high achieving student, we want to encourage you to consider Stetson University as your future home, whether as a participant in the HATS Program or as a university student - or both! We salute your achievement and are committed to nurturing your continued success.

You are our future. You will change the world in ways too wonderful to imagine. Yet we encourage you to imagine - to explore, to dream, to achieve.
