This summer, we’re hitting the road with Fuel the Fund, a coast-to-coast journey powered by Hatters everywhere.
With a gift of $10 or more to the Stetson Fund, you can help fuel scholarships, academic programs, and the student experiences that carry Hatters from FOCUS Orientation to the Commencement stage.
We’re 85% of the way to our annual Stetson Fund goal, and every gift before June 30 moves us closer.
As alumni, families, and friends give from across the country, we’re building momentum state by state, watching the map fill in. Each new state represented sends a powerful message to our 1,000+ graduates from the Class of 2026, representing 42 U.S. states and territories: Wherever you go next, the Hatter community is already there, ready to support you.
Be the first to represent your state. Help us complete all 50. And be part of the final push to reach our $2.5M goal before June 30.
As a thank you for fueling the fund, you’ll receive an exclusive Stetson logo decal so you can show your Hatter pride wherever the road takes you.
Make your gift today and help us go the distance.

There are only 14 days left to help Fuel the Fund before the June 30 deadline! So far, 18 states have been visited during our 50 states challenge, and there’s still time to visit the rest. Help support students like Serena, a Class of 2026 graduate who had this to say about her Stetson experience:
“I know that each of us has faced unexpected challenges and unforgettable memories. From senior research to recitals to involvement in student organizations, each of us has played a role in shaping the community at Stetson University. And, in turn, that same community shaped us. Stetson did not teach us our limits. Stetson taught us our limitless potential. Here, I’ve learned to dream bigger than I ever dared before.” -Serena D. ’26 (Major: Political Science and History)
