The Highlander Early Start Academy (HESA) is a 7-week intensive program for incoming first year students.

Throughout the 7 weeks, students will also get to know their personalized peer mentor and as well as be introduced and connected with other campus resources throughout the program.  HESA participants are also eligible for a special $1,000 HESA scholarship ($250 in the Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring).
