A statement confirming educational or scientific tax exemption from the IRS or the applicant's national, state, or local tax authority; or

A statement, from a bona fide academic institution meeting one of these eligibility standards, confirming that the group is visiting for the purpose of providing transferable academic credit based on a curriculum; or

A statement of accreditation or recognition as an educational institution from a legitimate international, national, regional, sate, or local authority for the applicant's location.
