Coverdell ESA
The Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA), formerly known as an Education IRA, is a trust or account in the name of the student. Unlike a 529 Plan, which is only designed to pay for postsecondary education expenses, the ESA can be used to pay for elementary and/or secondary (high school) education.
