Qualifying Children

We depend on our partners to make sure that Sight for Student gift certificates only go to qualified children. VSP reserves the right to remove partners from the program who abuse eligibility guidelines.

There are five basic qualifications a child must meet in order to receive a Sight for Students gift certificate. If a child fails to meet any of the qualification, please do not issue a certificate.

  • Family income is no more than 200% of federal poverty level (see chart below).
  • Child is not enrolled in Medicaid or other vision insurance.
  • Child is 18 years old or younger and has not graduated from high school.
  • Child or parent is a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant with a social security number.
  • Child has not used the Sight for Students program during the past 12 months.
