THE GREATEST HOMECOMING ON EARTH

October 25 - November 1, 2026 Sponsorship Guide

OVERVIEW OF NORTH CAROLINA A&T STATE UNIVERSITY

There’s no place in higher education like North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

A leading doctoral research land-grant university, North Carolina A&T is also America’s largest and leading historically Black university, with a diverse enrollment of 15,275. We are one of America’s top 10 universities in graduating African American students in 24 disciplines, including holding no. 1 positions in Engineering, Agriculture and STEM.

One of North Carolina’s top public research universities, N.C. A&T is on track to be reclassified as an R1-Very High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Classification for Institutions of Higher Education in 2028. A&T will likely become the first public HBCU to achieve that distinction.

The A&T cultural experience is second to none. From 17 highly competitive D1 sports teams to more than 150 student clubs and organizations
to the Greatest Homecoming on Earth, our campus hums with activity and excitement year round.

At North Carolina A&T, Aggies are always doing.
Never done.

Overview of North Carolina A&T

HOMECOMING OVERVIEW

It’s a bold name, but The Greatest Homecoming on Earth has richly earned it over the past 100 years.

Each fall, tens of thousands of North Carolina A&T alumni come home to Greensboro to join our students, faculty, staff and droves of Aggie fans in a weeklong celebration recognized nationwide. Attendance totaled more than 132,000 in 2024; 170,000+ visits to downtown Greensboro were recorded during homecoming weekend in 2025. This year’s centennial edition promises to be even bigger and better.


From major concerts to the biggest step show in America to endless tailgating featuring some of the best Southern cooking around, there’s something for everyone in the more than 35 official events that make up this cherished fall treasure.

We invite you to be part of the excitement for our 100th anniversary. Partnering with N.C. A&T gives you great visibility before an audience with strong and proven brand loyalty. Sponsor opportunities start at $5,000 and allow you to make the choice that works
best for your brand.
