My kids' high school is offering an amazing opportunity for 40 to 50 kids to go to South Africa for 12 days next year. It's billed as an opportunity to "engage with the wonderful social, historical, and cultural aspects of South Africa."
It's not required as part of the curriculum. Applicants should show a strong interest. They must write an essay, and they have to qualify to be accepted.
The trip will cost each student about $6,000.
My daughter will be a senior this coming year. We have saved fund in both an Education IRA (Coverdell) and 529 for her college. (Well, I'm pretty sure, it wouldn't qualify under the 529, but I'm not sure about the Coverdell)
Would this kind of thing be a qualified expense for either the 529 or the Coverdell?
Thank you
