Plan Types That Help Meet Your Goals

Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)
With a Coverdell ESA, contributions grow tax-free, and withdrawals are also tax-free when used for qualified education expenses such as tuition, fees, books, and supplies at most accredited elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools.
 
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors (UGMA/UTMA)
UGMA/UTMA accounts enable adults to gift assets to minors for any purpose that benefits the child, not just education. The child gains control of the account when they reach the age of majority in their state, and until then, the custodian manages the investments.
