(Example: On April 1, 2019, all student organizations will be permitted to request rooms in the Memorial Union through April 1, 2020.)

Apply for a Focus Grant
Focus is an organization that fosters ISU students in the visual, literary and performing arts. Individuals or groups of students may apply for grant funding for creative projects done outside of the classroom.

Focus has been funding projects at Iowa State since 1972.
Individual students (undergraduate and graduate in any major) and student organizations are encouraged to apply for up to $600 in funding for projects to be displayed, performed, projected, or read.
