VESTAL, N.Y. — Binghamton University says applications are now available for the 2018 grant cycle of the Stephen David Ross University and Community Projects Fund.
Ross, a Binghamton University faculty member, established the fund to further advance working partnerships between the school and the 
community, Binghamton said in a news release.
Binghamton awards Ross fund grants based on several criteria. 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.
