Coverdell Education Savings Account

Money saved in a Coverdell account can be used to pay for tuition at any school, including private elementary and high schools, and for expenses such as uniforms, transportation, computer and software, and extended daycare.

A Coverdell account can be set up with any financial services firm. The person who contributes to the account controls it, deciding how and when the money is spent. If need be, the savings may be transferred to another family member. Note though that the money is considered to be the child's, which may make it harder to qualify for grants and scholarships.
