college fund

Tuition savings account

A college fund is money set aside to pay for higher education expenses—tuition, books, housing.

Parents often start college funds when children are young, allowing savings to grow: We've been contributing to her college fund since she was born.

The term implies deliberate, long-term saving for a specific purpose.
