Is it possible to transfer an EE Series bond to my niece for her to use to pay for higher education? I have no children and do not claim her as a dependent on my taxes.

I have several EE Series bonds and I want to help my niece with her college tuition. If there is a way for me to gift or transfer ownership to her, then perhaps she can use them without me having to pay taxes and reduce the amount that I can give to her for schooling.
