It’s time to Back the Yard

for Howard’s Homecoming Celebration

There’s nothing quite like Howard Homecoming. With this year’s theme, "Wildest Dreams," we're not only celebrating the big game, yard fest, the Greek step show, and more; we're also investing in the future. Your donation helps fuel student experiences, programs, and opportunities that turn dreams into reality -just like our ancestors always imagined

Homecoming is also a time to pay it forward and invest in today’s Howard students.

Make your Back The Yard 2026 gift now to support student scholarships, groundbreaking research, trailblazing faculty, campus improvements and more! And become a Back the Yard Advocate to challenge your friends and earn special prizes and recognition.

The world needs Howard operating at maximum strength and it takes all of us to keep Howard strong. Support the leaders, trailblazers and innovators of tomorrow and Back the Yard for Howard today!
