Planting the seeds for your child’s future.

A little planning can go a long way toward saving for education. The Coverdell Education Savings Account is one option. While contributions are nondeductible, your beneficiary enjoys the advantages of tax-free earnings and withdrawals for qualified educational expenses.

Another way to save for education.

Similar to how an IRA helps you save dedicated funds for retirement, a Coverdell Education Savings Account (CESA) helps you save for specific expenses in a child’s elementary, secondary or higher education. You can add up to $2,000 to a child’s account annually. Eligible expenses typically include tuition, books and supplies, equipment, and room and board.*
