IT IS HARAAM TO SEND SMILEY FACES THROUGH THE INTERNET
Even though the kid's not a big spender, he might appreciate some spending money over investment gains while in school and jobless.

$200,000 in municipal bonds could be ~3% annual gain plus a federally and potentially state tax-free coupon of about $500 monthly (~3% annual). In a defensive market sector like consumer staples, it could be ~8% annual gain plus a taxable dividend of about $1200 quarterly (~$2.5% annual).

Alternatively, a few thousand in cash, that same amount in a one-year CD, and the rest invested in a broad-market index like VTI.
