IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Wonderworks offers only need-based financial aid and only in the form of tuition waivers for Houston-area students demonstrating financial need. The following criteria determine whether students qualify for tuition waivers:Income-based enrollment in a federally-subsidized free or reduced-cost lunch program at school. This, by itself, serves as sufficient evidence of need.Enrollment in Childrens Medicaid. This, by itself, serves as sufficient evidence of need.Enrollment in the Texas Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This, by itself, serves as sufficient evidence of need.Enrollment in the SAT or ACT fee waiver program. This, by itself, serves as sufficient evidence of need.Adjusted gross annual family income not exceeding four times the federally-defined poverty level (see: https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines). This, by itself, serves as sufficient evidence of need.
