The Key Language in regard to your question is that the interest from these bonds is tax free if used for "Qualified" Higher Education Purposes. What needs to be determined is whether or not the Institution is an "Eligible Education Institution."

 

The IRS defines Eligible Education Institution as such: An eligible educational institution is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, trade school, or other post secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.

 

This can include foreign educational institutions as long as they are eligible to participate in FSA programs. Please see the link below for further information:
