parental payment for law school tuition for their 26 year old child - considered a gift?

Does the IRS consider either of the following a 'gift' by the parent for: 

 

1.  Payment of tuition (directly to the educational institution) for law school (or B-school, med school, etc) for a 26 year-old child?

2. Payment of rent/food/clothing (during law school, etc.) for the 26 year-old child?

 

(would also appreciate the answer if different for a 23 year-old child)

 

Thank you.

Neil
