VESTAL, N.Y. — The Stephen David Ross University and Community Projects Fund at Binghamton University is now accepting applications for its 2022 grant cycle.
Ross — a distinguished professor emeritus — established the fund to “advance working partnerships” between the University and the community, per a Binghamton University news release.
Ross Fund grants are awarded based on several priorities. They include promotion of collaboration and cooperation between university and community groups, innovative use of the talents and resources of project partners, demonstrated commitment to the use of existing funds or to obtaining matching funds, and significant, enduring and positive difference in the quality of life of the community.
