    You can often (depending on the plan) borrow from your 401K for education expenses, then pay yourself back. That way it won’t incur an early withdrawal penalty.

    Oh I thought you wanted the money.

    If they want you to take it, you can roll it over into a regular IRA. Not sure about a Roth. Follow whatever rules there are about how quickly you have to put the money in a new account so you don’t get a penalty.
