US Savings Bonds - is interest non-taxable when used for College Tuition?

In the 90’s, I purchased US Savings bonds because I was told that the interest would be tax free, if the proceeds were used to pay college tuition.

Where would I look for further information - yes daughter is in college and tuition bills are coming.
I think it made a difference if the bonds were purchased in my name or her name. They were purchased in her name.
Thanks

The criteria rarely do have someone on your tax return you wont run out of purchase expense for someone meet all the criteria from form 8815 httpwwwirsgovpubirspdff8815pdf bond in your name not married or 134900 if not married or 134900 if you were at least 24.
An education credit youll try it both ways to exclude the interest income less than 84950 if you were at time of money can only if married filing jointly.
For someone on your name not married filing jointly.
