You’ll want to give your child the very best education, but will you be able to afford it?


A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) allows you to save up to $2,000 per child per year, and earnings grow tax-free if distributions are used for qualified education expenses.*

 

Since Coverdell account contributions are made with after-tax dollars, you might be wondering where the “free” part comes in. It’s at the most important time- when your college-bound teen must pay for tuition, books, room and board.

 

You or anyone else, like grandparents, who meet the income requirements can contribute $2,000 per year to a Coverdell account for each of your children. However, the total contributions to all Coverdell ESAs for each child can’t exceed $2,000 per year.

 

Account Features

 

To apply for a Coverdell Education Savings Account, please call 800-662-2772 and an MCU Financial Service Associate will be happy to assist you.


*Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, books, supplies, equipment, and in some cases, room and board and computers.
