Unless the child made the contributions to the ESA, the funds cannot be considered as provided by the child for support. Their status of beneficiary does not factor. Because the person is under 24 and a full-time student, the person must have provided more than 50% of their own support (and a person’s own funds are not support unless they are actually spent for support.) in order to disqualify someone else claiming them as a dependent.
