Cadet Pathway

Hey y’all, I am extremely interested in the Destination 225 cadet pathway but have come across a question. 

I am currently a high school senior and plan on applying to the program once I turn 18 years old. However, my parents have been contributing to a 529 Savings Plan since I was born which is supposed to be used for college.

 

I was wondering if the money in this account could be used for the costs of the Cadet Pathway without falling subject to the 10% withdrawal fee and taxes. 

Thank you so much!
